Agreed. I actually did a dist-upgrade from sarge to etch and actually got a lot of sid as well including 2.6.12 (I mistakenly brought in gcc-4.0 in order to keep festival from being removed). I did have to run "aptitude dist-upgrade" and "apt-get install -f" a few times until the smoke cleared. For some reason, /etc/init.d/cupsys was turned into some data file. An "apt-get --reinstall cupsys" fixed that. I haven't yet tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" since everything worked and looked fine after the upgrade (other than the missing custom Gnome menus that I mentioned in another email). I was wondering if things were all right for the upgrade and crossed my fingers. If you're considering the jump, I'd say go for it.
