"Upgrading?"

IMHO upgrading Linux should be called something more aptly named like: "I plan to burn my machine to cinders, and rebuild it from the ashes." (Phoenix-ing). Anything else is just a misnomer. In fact "upgrading" should be taken out of our ones technical vocabulary, and should be called "filthy lies". The only time it's ok, is when a vendor controls both the horizontal and vertical integration paths (Like apple), where they can control the variables to some degree.
