That is funny. I recently upgraded several servers from Lenny to Squeeze with zero trouble, and at least three were running PostgreSQL 8.3.

At the same time, my last Ubuntu upgrade made my laptop unusable for about a week.

Which only goes to show that your or my individual experiences are meaningless :-)

Meanwhile LTS bugs like this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug... are still present in Ubuntu a year later.

which actually goes to show that upgrading in itself is a dangerous exercise, and safe upgrading is still a problem that hasn't been solved
