Aye, well my view of upgrading might be slightly coloured by only 
ever having done apt upgrades (and manual rpm -U <gigantic command 
line> upgrades before apt was around). The CD boot anaconda upgrade 
would have an advantage in that respect.

But apt is so much more convenient, with CD/net boot of anaconda 
installer as a reserve in case of disaster, that I'll continue to use 
apt..
