Note that you don't have to reinstall to get to a new release. Well, I guess RHEL doesn't support major release upgrades, but it's the exception. Fedora does upgrades just fine (modulo the occasional difficulty), but you're supposed to running anaconda from a separate root to do it in the supported way.

And it's not like upgrading [K]Ubuntu was always a breeze... Almost every time I have to fix something - though I am probably no typical [Ubuntu] user either.
