This update works around a serious problem in Fedora 21 Beta which makes systems automatically shut down 15 minutes into the upgrade.
Other improvements:
* Adds `–product=PRODUCT` flag, required for upgrades to F21
* Uses host’s config files in `upgrade.img`, which should fix various upgrade problems (e.g. incorrect keyboard layout when unlocking disks due to missing `vconsole.conf`)
* Logging improvements: complete upgrade log should appear in system journal
* Adds a warning for upgrades without a new kernel
* Fixes a bunch of crashes
