I personally, never upgrade.  I backup user info and critical data info 
(/etc,...) and do a complete new install.  A couple of reasons for this 
approach.

1. I've heard some real nightmares regarding upgrades.
2. If you're doing something as substantial as an upgrade, you should be 
backing your box up anyway.
3. It's great opportunity to clean out some clutter, and to insure 
consistency in your install.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
