Yes, but note the big warning at:  http://old-en.opensuse.org/Wagon

As of now, that warning still applies.

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade

But the Wagon page has not been migrated to the new Wiki apparently,
so the Wagon links from that page are dead links.  :(

And I gather the SDB namespace is not part of the default new wiki
search, so many will miss it.

Good luck on that!

Maybe http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade will be updated as
people find issues.
