It's possible you're remembering correctly, but I doubt it. The only issue
that sounds similar to your hand-waving here, as I see it, is that we (by way
of yum) will always choose the newest available package. This means if there's
a higher version number on a package in f14-updates than in f15-release, and
you've got the update already installed, you won't get the f15 package. But
that's an issue with or without f15-updates (or even f14-updates) enabled
during the upgrade.
There was also possibly some terrifyingly bad interaction with running
multiple transactions for split media, but thankfully we've shed that beast
of burden.

For some reason it has always seemed to me that the term software engineering
contains some very optimistic assumptions about the nature of reality.
