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...)
