Remarkably similar. We put the big, hairy, compatability breaking
changes in the major version bumps. We have learned a few lessons from the
last version upgrade cycle, some are left to be learned anew.

Caveat compiler. We NEVER suggest that lusers (or, less
experienced users) upgrade from source, even for a point release. We
ALWAYS tell them to upgrade from CD, or wipe their disk and do a clean
install. If you choose the upgrade from source path, YOU take
responsibility for adequately educating yourself. Period, end of story.
