  I know, which is why my original comment stated "and I believe Mint's official stance *was* that they didn't support dist-upgrade" and furthermore, I went on to state "Not sure if that policy has changed now, but that used to be their stance for a very long time".

    Would have been better if instead of "that used to be their stance for a very long time" you would have written "that used to be their stance a very long time ago, not sure about currently". Additionally, it would have been nice for you to spend a couple of minutes and check the current official stance. Like I said, I have been using Mint since 2014 and the upgrade was an official stance at least since then. I think 3-5 years (let alone 10 years) is a long enough time to pass after which one should check before posting old information. Imagine someone talking about how few games Linux has (pre-Steam) or how impossible installation of Linux is (because one needs to order physical CDs).
