I've been doing Fedora upgrades-in-place for a long time. Most recently with 
fedup and before that with preupgrade and I don't recall any problems. 

I read the Phoronix article you referenced and also the post in Fedora-devel 
mailing list that the Phoronix article referenced. I don't understand what 
problem they are referring to. I subscribe to Planet Fedora RSS feed and I 
don't recall seeing anything about problems with fedup. Only thing I've 
noticed is that there is a package cache in /var containing a gig or two that 
becomes obsolete after the upgrade is complete yet is not automatically 
removed.

Chris: I just upgraded from F21 -> F22 (using fedup). I use KDE as my desktop 
environment. (I know that you use KDE).  F21 used KDE 4. F22 uses Plasma 5. 
Most of my settings for KDE itself and for some KDE apps (e.g. Konsole, 
Knotes) were lost. After the fact I read the F22 release notes, which said 
that the KDE migration was supposed to be smooth. For Konsole, the config 
settings transitioned to a new location, so they can be manually copied. I 
haven't figured how to salvage Knotes.
