And it's not just me. I've noticed that a lot of people get the same

I would be interested how you reach a figure of 75%
How many Ubuntu users have you polled?

Months of hanging out on the Ubuntu forums, both lurking as a guest
and being a registered member for a while:

Every day there seemed to be at least three new topics about "apt-get
dist-upgrade" breaking a system.
