It really isn't a good solution without a lot of hand work. It can be
done but the person doing the updates needs to figure out all the
problems before hand and probably do it multiple times to work out
various kinks. You are basically trying to upgrade from Fedora 18 to
Fedora 29 without anything in between. Lots of little changes have
built up over time from packages having things as different
dependencies to RPM modules existing in RHEL8 but not RHEL7.
