        software I'm not sure I like exposing my system to so many
        

        opportunities for failure.
        

        A strategy I've used in past is to *not*
        upgrade until I
        

        need something. Maybe could call it it "choose your own
        

        freeze".
        

      I usually just upgrade what I want when I want.
      

    I do it the other way round, I put on hold what I didn't want to
    upgrade, and upgrade the rest.

    I never do a backup, and in the last 10 Years I didn't ever need
    one.  ;-) 

    I usually do apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade  and
    read the output, that gives me enough information if I need to put
    packages on hold, or if I could safely just run the full upgrade.

    If a package is broken after upgrade, I just downgrade it to the one
    from testing.
