I propose this, because it is sure that QA (Quality Assurance) process of every release always includes the 
clean install, and I do not know what upgrade installs it includes (perhaps only from the previous version).

So the only thing we are sure is that, clean installs are tested thoroughly. This is what I am doing, I first 
backup my data (firefox bookmarks, etc) and then perform a clean install and reconfigure everything from the 
start.

For those wanting to "upgrade", they can try backup the /home directory, perform a clean install and restore 
/home directory.

I suppose this upgrade process is more stable and less messy than performing upgrade via synaptic.


Also we must keep in mind that normal releases, have updates for at least 18 months, and not only 6, as many 
people think eroneusly.
