With the release of Fedora 11 now past us, it's come time to remind
folks that per the release policy, maintenance for the N-2 Fedora
release ends one month after the Fedora N comes out.

In this case, since Fedora 11 just came out, that means that the end
of life for Fedora 9 will be 2009-07-10.  After this point, no new
updates, including security updates, will be available for Fedora 9.
We strongly urge folks to upgrade to Fedora 11 in order to experience
the best and latest that Fedora has to offer.

So without delay, go get your copy of Leonidas today from
http://get.fedoraproject.org and enjoy the latest version of Fedora!

I have just successfully upgraded an F9 KVM guest straight to F11 using preupgrade.

I can understand the requirement to go via F10 if using the non-recommended 'yum upgrade' from a running system, but I don't see why it would be necessary when using preupgrade or when upgrading from an installation DVD. I wonder if the Installation Guide is wrong here.

Upgrading F9 to F11 using Anaconda or preupgrade is supported. The installation guide will be fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506750
