The Fedora team works very hard to enable upgrading (without a clean install) from one release to the next...often skipping releases is fine (e.g., 27 to 29). That said, I only have a few Fedora boxes (used like servers -- that is, not on people's desks) for my users that need more bleeding edge software stacks and additional packages than CentOS + EPEL can provide. Due to the heavy flow of packages updates and kernel updates, it takes a special kind of user to cope with updates, reboots, and occasional breakage. Chris
