Definitely not. There's a high probability that 1.6 will require a Qt version
higher than what my distribution gives me, requiring a HUGE expenditure of
effort and troubleshooting. I had this problem moving up to 1.5.3 on Mandriva
2007. I've had this problem several times.
The package list on the web suggests that Mandriva 2008.1 includes Qt
4.3.4, which is very much enough for 1.6, and will likely even be enough
for 1.7. We try not to be overly cutting edge with what we require there.
Therefore, I limit LyX upgrades to versions giving a "must have" capability.
For me, there have been only two "must have" capabilities -- character styles
and outline mode.
The outliner is greatly improved in 1.6.
