Well, you might find many who disagree with that.  I'll
contend that many (if not most) IT shops don't do OS upgrades.
They keep up with patches, but don't do wholesale OS
upgrades, especially on servers.

And, problematic upgrades certainly are not limited to
Linux.  I've yet to do a Windoze upgrade that didn't get
hozed.  Hence, I refuse to upgrade *any* OS.  Just wipe it and
install from fresh.
