The biggest improvement among vendors would be an 'easier' anybody can
install package and/or better installation documentation. Reading this
list would indicate that upgrades are not problem free. If possible,
what got change with the upgrade and might cause problems with the 'new
version'. That it itself is a tough road to plow. I am a user of IBM's
AIX and they don't necessarily document all the holes that got closed
and I pay big bucks for this product. In my last upgrade they did
provide filesets that captured the original file so that a user could
use the saved file to modify the new file if needed.
