Those tips are for upgrading a live box through yum. Upgrading through
Anaconda from the CD's worked perfectly fine here (at least I haven't
discovered any problems), and I think it's meant to be supported
between major releases (but not for the -test ISO's).

There may be old packages hanging around of course, and the new stuff
like eclipse and all the jakarta+tomcat stuff has to be installed
afterwards (if you want/need it).
