I've upgraded several family members directly from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23 in the last week with no issues whatsoever (of course, I also curate their repository selection, so they don't end up with incompatible packages).
Aye, there's the rub. It is not just update from an "original" installation of N-2 to N, it is update from N-2 plus whatever additional repository packages were installed plus additional non-repository software and user configuration that you want to upgrade.
Not really. We have never really gone to any lengths to test or support N-1 upgrades with 3rd party repositories or non-repo software either. That's a different question.
Of course, these considerations also apply to the single-release upgrade. The situation just gets worse the farther back one goes.
I'm not really sure that logically follows. Why does the situation inevitably 'get worse' for N-2 upgrade?
