I was running 229 (fc24) as you expected. I then did as you suggested. 
The upgrade seemed to complete successfully.

After system-upgrade, I still have 4599 total packages, 1233 of which 
are fc23. distro-sync reports 40 "requires" or "conflicts" and suggests 
--allowerasing. Trying that reports,

Install       7 Packages
Upgrade       1 Package
Remove     1242 Packages
Downgrade  2002 Packages

It seems to be trying to put everything back to F23. "rpm -qa|sort" 
shows that almost all of the fc23 packages are paired with fc24 
packages, both of which are installed. Is there any reason I can't just 
remove the redundant packages?
