I have seldom heard of an upgrade going well. Now bug fixes, normal updates, and that sort of thing on the same distro have gone fine on both lists.
Well, I don't think that an "install only, no upgrade possible" policy is acceptable. An upgrade should work as well as a new install.
Hopefully you're not right: it seems that urpmi is approaching apt in functionality, making operations like apt-get --dist-upgrade possible (though it didn't work for me when I tested debian).
I think that it was windows you had to reinstall from scratch from time to time to keep it working, not Linux.I don't know of anybody that recommends an upgrade style distro transition. I think you should install 9.0 from scratch, if you haven't already.
