I did get an update to fuse for FC12 sunday, so it
doesn't seem dead
yet...

Fedora 12's end of life is 2010-12-02.

You have until then to look at upgrading to f13/f14. ;)

Just because it's EOL doesn't mean it stops working on that date, too. ;-)

Since FC6 (I've been using Fedora since Core 3), I've only upgraded with every third release--6-9-12. I think it wasteful of time and energy to upgrade any faster. It takes almost the 6 month release cycle to get everything working smoothly anyway. Then chuck it all and start anew with a new set of problems? No thanks.

I'm noticed, when trying upgrade from F11 to F14, this combination isn't
supported, anaconda refuse it - to F14 is upgrade possible only from F12
or F13. As I usually do fresh install, I not know exactly in which
Fedora version was this restriction introduced, but I am certain this
must occur not long ago - older Fedora distros make possible upgrade
almost without restriction, from any previous version.
