It might be, don't think anyone tried it yet.

Yes ;)
first off, redhat does not support upgrading from beta's to the released
version.  That doesn't mean it can't work, it means nobody tried it, they
sure didn't test it or fix anything to make it work, and you're on your
own.
second, historically a new .0 numbers mostly means "so much has been
changed that you might have problems upgrading from any previous release
anyway".  So, historically, most users installing a .0 release do this
from scratch anyway, doing upgrades throughout x.0->x.y.
If you want to avoid problems, bite the bullet and reinstall ;)
