"Rawhide detritus" - is that apply for current Beta release?

In this wiki post http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrad...lease_to_final is one warning:
Quote:
While upgrading from rawhide to final will work OK most of the time, there may be some corner case issues with bad interim rawhide updates leaving the system in a different state than a final clean install, or even a regular F10 to F11 upgrade (or preupgrade).
. Is this apply only for very early releases or is this apply even for Beta?

Thank you for your replies

Probably applies to "depends". Fedora has standard installation but people's systems aren't really standard at all. So If you set up this and that you could be fine but if you set up this that and that other thing you could be screwed. I mean 10 people can preupgrade with no problem but an 11th person could have a setup that messes things up.

Does this help ya understand the issues? In other words everyone tries their hardest but the complexity of the system can't make any guarantees.

The likelyhood of such issues decreases as we get closer to release...

Do pay attention to any errors from applying updates and follow the fedora-test-list for any workarounds.
