Thanks, Soren. Good news all the way around. To the idea that such upgrades shouldn't be attempted, but should do a clean install. That's certainly would be preferred ... in a perfect world, that is. Reality is that it isn't feasible in many cases. And I submit that release upgrades ought to be a "must have" feature of any distro worthy of being considered for production server use. IMHO.
