+</I>&gt;<i> for sure that the majority of 'normal' (non-geeks) users FEAR AND EVEN
+</I>&gt;<i> HATE distro upgrades, they just want to be able to install new versions of
+</I>&gt;<i> apps, not risky complete distro upgrades.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So a one year release cycle with lots of app backports (and maybe a kernel
+</I>&gt;<i> backport mid-cycle if there is important new hardware support) is IMHO the

+you are correct, people don't like to upgrade live; they fear it.
+
+however, i've been upgrading (first by just changing urpmi sources and updating
+everything) and later by clicking the upgrade_applet.
+
+i must say that there used to be some smaller issues which can be solved by
+rebooting (which you should do after upgrades anyway, because of kernels); but
+lately, i didn't see any troubles with clicking upgrade_applet at all. (and
+this for 3years or so...)
