    I've updated over 94 packages since I installed FC3T1 two
    days ago, including 2 new kernels. Who knows how much cruft and
    broken stuff will be there by October? It just doesn't seem possible
    to guarantee a test release will be upgradable without seriously
    hampering testing. I plan on wiping the parition, installing FC2
    and upgrading to FC3test with each test release, so that anaconda
    can be tested. If the installer was sufficiently tested, things
    like the dual-boot bug probably wouldn't have gotten out the door.

    My guess is that most people will be upgrading from FC2 to FC3,
    and that's what testing is trying to target.
