An Ubuntu dist upgrade on a machine of mine once forgot how to read an encrypted root disk. That its own installer had set up originally, and the config of which I'd never touched (the machine as a whole had approximately no customization, in fact—it was just a box I had hooked up to a TV, nothing special going on). This was just a one-version jump, mind you. [EDIT] Oh and there was that release in the late '00s, I think, when they pushed out PulseAudio way too early (shoulda never done it at all...) and it caused your whole X session to crash if your browser loaded any Flash content at all. Which was still in wide use at the time. How the shit that got through QC, I'll never know. There's no chance, in that year, that someone testing or developing it hadn't tried to load HomeStarRunner or something, or had a Flash ad try to load. Hell I think YouTube might have still used Flash on Linux at the time.
