I think the "is this normal?" is a loaded question as what you are doing is (to the best of my knowledge) not a supported upgrade path. I would personally recommend a backup of data and a fresh install, but that is just my opinion.

I just upgraded this F7 machine to F9 as discussed in my previous post and now when I run the first 'yum update' it brings in PackageLibs plus 'fedora-release' and a few others. So when it installs this 'transition' fedora-release it puts new repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as .rpmnew so I check and move them into place. The next 'yum update' now lists a whole bunch of files coming from repo 'updates-new'. Is this normal? Will the system still be usable if I install all these updates from 'updates-new' repo?

Of course 'preupgrade' is supported. Look here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade And after completing the whole process all the way from F7 up to Fedora 10 everything is working fine.

My "Is this normal?" comment was about seeing all the F9 updates coming in from the "updates-newkey" repo. That didn't look normal. And as clarified in a later post, that was due to a security incident that occurred which required new repo keys.
