I can't comment on UsrMove because I'm quite unfamiliar with it, but I did manage to upgrade from f17 to f18 using the totally unsupported yum update --releasever --enablerepo="*testing" --nogpgcheck method.
Computer booted and everything's exactly as it used to (Though I did have to remove some packages like Calibre because of file conflicts, no big deal). I did it on a live system, too. The only thing that failed during that time was postgres (Which managed to stay borked after it was done and f18 booted, the pg_upgrade method didn't work properly) but other than that and a much more responsive KDE, I can't see any side effects to this method.
