Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
> Try installing F12 Alpha early.

It's always been possible to install the (various) next releases, by
simply setting the yum repo to Rawhide. Indeed, this is one way in which
Fedora can be used as a rolling-distro, and is used as such by test
engineers (and the adventurous).

Be warned, things /will/ break doing this, so be prepared.

However, for experienced GNU/Linux users, it shouldn't cause too much
difficulty, as long as you ensure you have backups of certain key
packages, such as grub and the kernel.
