Hi

I have a question that seems to get mixed answers.

On news.opensuse.org it has been stated by people that we can update from the
beta to the release candidate to then the final release without having to
download and do a fresh install.


yes using zypper dup

However on the Opensuse Forum, the moderators speak against it saying that we
should do a clean install because config files from the beta could be left
behind.

config files may be different, or maybe not ;) if you have modified the
configuration files they shouldn't be replaced.
