As it is with openSUSE and for that reason the same advice is given
since ages and will be given for ever.

But as with everything, there is sometimes the exception to the rule --
but that has never meant installing from scratch.

I do it that way. Others don't.

The advice is always the same and is irregardless of what OS you are
using. Want to upgrade? Take a backup and try it. If it doesn't work,
you do the new installation and you have your backup to put data back.

You can do with that advice whatever you like to do as it is not my data
that will be gone if things go wrong.

I do both fresh installations and upgrades, for the fun of it :)

But OTOH I have a separate extra large disk for you know what :)
I couldn't bare them to go missing :)
