49925e4421 Remove reference to "Fedora 21". That was seven years ago.
See https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-upgrade-fedora-34-to-fedora-35/17662 for an example of a user (justifiably) confused by the reference.

f417e3dece update system upgrade docs
* Improve messaging regarding N->N+2 upgrades.
* Move some details regarding Rawhide issues to the specific Rawhide wiki page.
  This generic guide doesn't need to go into detail about Rawhide issues,
  because that makes it harder to read for general users (not interested in
  Rawhide). Power users can follow a link.
* Update gnome-software screenshot (more recent, with graphics).
* Clearly state that upgrading using pure `dnf` or `fedora-upgrade` is
  unsupported.
* Other small adjustments and clarifications, link fixes. Make section headlines
  look consistent across articles (don't capitalize every word).

[DNF System Upgrade] Don't hardcode versions
The current version of the page includes hardcoded, obsolete references
to e.g. Fedora 28, 30, and 31, which can be confusing.

Replace references with attributes, and add a new one, `{NEXTNEXTVER}`
for the branched example.

8e1c962dd7 Update dnf upgrade for 3rd party software
This is now the second time when rpmconf reverted me
google-chrome-stable.repo file back to version where I have `enabled=0`.
It looks like this package generates the repo file in the post scriplet
and does not mention it in the list of installed files, this probably
tricks rpmconf to do an incorrect action. I would love to investigate
further and maybe file a bug for chrome/chromium, but now that I
finished my upgrade I can't look back why rpmconf thought this file
needs updating - scriplet looks like this:

    YUM_REPO_FILE="/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo"
    install_yum() {
      install_rpm_key

      if [ ! "$REPOCONFIG" ]; then
        return 0
      fi

      if [ -d "/etc/yum.repos.d" ]; then
    cat > "$YUM_REPO_FILE" << REPOCONTENT
    [google-chrome]
    name=google-chrome
    baseurl=$REPOCONFIG/$DEFAULT_ARCH
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
    REPOCONTENT
      fi
    }

It was likely some older version of the package. Anyway, I thought I'd
drop a warning note for others, because I accidentally disabled this
repo which left my Chrome on an old version for about a year until it
websites started warning me about an unsupported version. This is
dangerous, my main browser is Firefox but this could be a security
problem for others.

114da283dc emphasize system-upgrade reboot reboots immediately, minor cleanups
Use "reboot" consistently, emphasize the immediate no-prompt reboot, mention it's a console terminal, then a second reboot, and clean up step 6 language. This fixes issue #294 and I think is an improvement.

dnf-system-upgrade: s/touch/fixfiles/ to relabel SELinux
This is a personal preference, but the `fixfiles` command is a
convenient binary in Fedora that ships with SELinux to handle relabels.
It does the same thing, but note the use of the `-B` flag.

From the man pages:

> -B:
> If specified with onboot, this fixfiles will record the current date
> in the /.autorelabel file, so that it can be used later to speed up
> labeling. If used with restore, the restore will only affect files
> that were modified today.

I thought I would share this improvement upstream since I use this page
often, but I prefer this way of running more lean SELinux checks.
