I'm currently working on an automatic obsoletion mechanism. Basically
the idea is to diff package sets between 2010 and 2011/dev releases
with every update of 2011/dev repo. This will add Obsoletes to top-level
texlive rpm so that a clean update path 2010 -> 2011/dev is always assured.

So if anything goes wrong with 2011/dev you can use 2010 and there
will always exist an upgrade path to 2011/dev if you decide 2011/dev
works for you.

I will announce it as soon as the 2011/dev repo will contain these
changes.
