Actually, for this release I don't care too much. I am thinking about the next LTS and how I can support an upgrade at that time. I am thinking it is best to figure a fix now because we remember what the issue is. It seems no matter what we recommend, we still have people do something else. We still get asked for help for people upgrading gnome to xfce and the issues that causes. It is for that reason I would like LTS to LTS upgrade to work (boot and run). Keeping the old hard drive/ware intact and installing on a new hard drive seems the safest way to go. That way any old projects can be completed on the system they were started on if things go wrong.
