Re: Upgrade concern

Yes, the expectation that
1. upgrades ever result in a 100% working system
2. we collect every possible failure for you and
3. beeing prepared when it comes to downgrading/backup is negligible

Re: Upgrade concern

bibi, this sort of question is more suitable for the IRC, though it'd be much better if you thought about things yourself and didn't take the lazy way out.

Closing.
