If things get broken by the upgrade, users would simply reboot. And if the issue was the version skew you're worried about, that would fix it.
Does knowing how to press the power button make you a "power user"? If so, I weep for the future of computing.

If the upgrade crashes halfway through, there is a chance the machine won't boot.
A power user might fix it (dpkg --configure -a; apt-get install -f; apt-get dist-upgrade).

And if a Boeing 747 crash-lands on top of the computer, that would probably be bad too. But how is it related to what we were talking about?
Just to be clear, the issue we were talking about was version skew in libraries causing applications to misbehave during the upgrade.
