I think "be smart about how you use this feature" applies always:
dist-upgrade is what the Zope codebase calls a "hold onto your butts"
operation. People running development releases should be prepared to
grow handles, I guess. ;)
A "normal" upgrade is all a "normal" install should ever need, except
when moving from one release to another (which Ubuntu's support policy
should make a mercifully rare event).
