I wish the upgrade process would actually prompt the user for performing such steps. Seems to me that the upgrade process itself should be better scripted on the release DVD/CD to take care of such problems, including cleaning up of orphaned packages, and synching of packages. Such a script would be a great help to newbs and non-techies. I hope someone on the fedoraproject's release engineering team notices this post.
