There's nothing that says a user doing an upgrade wants to upgrade to Workstation. There's also nothing that is going to magically upgrade them to Workstation anyway. Also, they don't have this in F20 so their experience is not worse, it's the same.
I think fedup needs to to require specification of the product when upgrading from Fedora 20:
fedup Error message listing the products fedup --product=workstation You get Fedora Workstation fedup --product=server You get Fedora Server fedup --product=none You get a collection of pieces from the Fedora repositories
Without that or some equivalent that keeps people from accidentally getting things that look approximately like Fedora Workstation but *are not* Fedora Workstation, I'm definitely opposed to this change.
I've been trying to work with the packaging folks and the fedup maintainer, but right now it's looking infeasible to do a non-productized (F20) upgrade to a Productized F21. People who want Workstation are going to have to do a clean install. People upgrading from F20 will end up with non-productized F21 (equivalent to a Spin).
I need to follow up on the original devel thread about this.
Basically, the fedup maintainers don't want to spend effort on a one-time upgrade feature, particularly with so little time before release.
