I think it's a fair bet to say it will be at least 4-6 weeks out.
When it comes, will I be able to upgrade by "sudo yum update"?
You can try. :)
There is, in the RH docs, an upgrade path mentioned, however, even they don't seem to have much faith in it. Their recommendation is to use the DVD choosing the Upgrade option.
There are going to be some MAJOR changes, including a jump from 2.6.18 kernel to 2.6.30-something, changes in glibc, and so on. So while some people may successfully upgrade, I suspect that most will be doing a backup and reinstall.
