On second thoughts, my comment was over the top. Doing something is better than nothing and github is doing something. So kudos to that.

Did an upgrade cycle from 10.04 through 11.10, installing every release. Did a clean install at 12.04. Have upgraded that to 12.10 and now 13.04. I will not say there were no issues, but I never faced data corruption or unable-to-boot issue
