A binary upgrade to 5.0 isn't going to be much better. If you just do it, it's going to leave you with most of the problems described in UPDATING. You're still going to have to remember to delete things from your includes directories if you want C++ to work, your pam.conf will be obsolete, the names of some devices will be different, etc. You can argue that the upgrade option shouldn't change anything until you're blue in the face, but that's not going to change reality. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
