Who are you, and what have you done with Colin? :-)

Didn't mean to be vague. Because you used precise words like "trashed",
"significant" and "catastrophe" I can actually state with some
certitude that the exact probability of one of those things happening
if an upgrade is interrupted by an ssh connection dropping out is
exactly 1.02% (plus or minus the local wind chill factor in furlongs
per fortnight, of course).

Regards, K.
