I think there is a misunderstanding here on the use of "system". I believe Adam is saying that upgrading packages for the underlying OS is where the problem is, but you can upgrade packages in other layers of the OS fine. e.g. upgrading glibc can be an issue, upgrading vi should be fine. Upgrading emacs is undefined. Cheers, Jeff.
