Haven't regretted it since. My sentiments, exactly. Upgrades in place were a pain when I did them donkey's years ago, and I repeatedly see threads like this on this list (despite someone else's thoughts that they don't). Sure, if things go fine there's an ease of doing nothing more than an update. But when things go haywire, and they often do (immediately or later on), there's an awful lot of housekeeping to go through. And, there's more than just updating files with newer versions. Their can be filesystem changes, different partitioning schemes, etc. Some of which are very difficult to manage in an update over the top. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
