True for testing environments and source upgrades (if people can do that 
theirselves).
Untrue for package upgrades and similar upgrade paths.

Main problem targets the fact that the error reports differ in various 
ways. Only a developer might get the idea what did change, but if I were 
just an user with daily business I would spend a lot of time checking on 
possible errors. Better having a new release telling this is fixed.

Well good to hear that, not rushing into releases. Maybe instrumented by 
asking on different channels for testing help (like Twitter and Facebook 
getting very popular right now). Just an idea to make life more easy.


Kind regards,
