Why not latest Fedora?

I don't know Fedora that well to give you recomendations here. I have my
own preferences. But there is a point worthmentioning regarding Fedora:

Fedora does not seem to provide long-term maintinance. Security updates
for Fedora are provided for a relatively short period. there is a
community project called Fedora Legacy to provide maintinance for older
Fedoras, but it has ggained reputation of not providing timely updates.

So:

1. is there a decent upgrade path? Would you use 'yum upgrade' (or
whatever the command is) to upgrade your server from FC3 to FC4? from
FC1 to FC4?

2. Alternatively: how well does Fedora Legacy is lately?
