ISTR that the 9.0 kernels do not, no idea if the ones out for the later 
releases do or not; hopefully, someone else has the definitive answer.

As for the "safety" of upgrading, I prefer clean installs that retain
/home, which I keep on a separate partition for exactly that reason. I
also back up /etc and certain subdirs of /var before the install, to be 
able to quickly get the new system's settings and data as I want them.
