I have seen some cases of installing F7 rpms in FC6 and this makes me
think that it would be possible to implement F8 rpms in F7 and
possibly F9 rpms in F8 when it comes out. I guess what I am trying
to say is that by the time F9 is ready to be spun, the F8
repositories are carrying most if not all the software of F9 and
users would be at the F9 level.
That's pretty difficult to do, especially if we want to do something
like transition from python2.4 to python2.5, or the X work that Ajax is
about to start. There is a reason it's a new release and not just a
pile of updates to the old release.
