Warning, this is personally untested so I may not know what I'm talking
about ;-) I want to put in a plug (pun) for my favourite app, 'smart'.
It handles yum repos on FC systems as well as other distros (deb, etc) 

I have read on the suse list that you can do a live upgrade from suse 10
to 10.2, for example by simply pointing your repo list to all the
equivalent 10.2 urls instead of sticking with your existing list of
repos. Same should apply for the different versioning FC repos, I guess.
Might be worth reading up on if it's going to get you out of a bind, but
I'd recommend switching to smart anyway.

Gavin.
