Personally, I did the upgrade. Even though the upgrade worked, I did have a lot of custom apps / packages on my system which I carried over. There were a few things that didn't work / look 100% like a fresh install does. One thing that I have noticed is different is the icon size. I run my system at 1280 x 1024 so I expect my icons to be a bit smaller but for some reason, the icons are set to a 32+ size settings. Apart from that, it does work and function as previous releases. I'm not too sure about the compiz though. While I like the effects, I seen issues where some of the menus are not displayed the way that it should be and I couldn't find a quick way to make it work (apart from turning off the Desktop effects).

I upgraded yesterday and it all went smoothly! This new version has Compiz - Wobbly windows etc - on by default. I do not think it is as stable as Beryl was on the previous version. It occasionally looses the red bars at teh top of windows along with the menu bar! I have to shut down all running apps, and restart the X server! A backup is a good idea!
