Well other issues popped up, avahi from F7 appeared in a "rpm -q avahi" 
along with the one from F9 like above. Quick fix:
"rpm -e --justdb avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386"

I used the same kind of fix for the above fedora-release issue.

Second, pirut from F7, is dragging in F9's gnome-packagekit and friend 
if you try to "yum update" fix: rpm -e pirut anaconda anaconda-runtime"
before you yum update.

After the above fixes, and you can update via yum, however, the first 
pass at yum update resulted in:

I can see the ones coming from updates-newkey, but the ones from fedora 
should of been on the spin, as to preform a complete upgrade. Should we 
look to add these to the spin, just uninstall them before the upgrade, 
or leave them for the local admins to deal with?

Then there are these leftovers after the update:

htmlview-4.0.0-3.fc7.noarch
gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-2.fc7.noarch
system-config-securitylevel-1.7.0-6.fc7.i386
sysklogd-1.4.2-9.fc7.i386
rssh-2.3.2-5.fc7.i386
system-config-soundcard-2.0.6-6.fc7.noarch

Not sure if these are in rpm twice as f7 and f9, or just leftovers from 
f7. More info later, got to find the script that I have for that
