What's wrong with that one?   :)

To avoid the upgrade related problems and avoid
being a beta tester, do not rush to get it after
it's announced, especially if you (like me)
are not a Linux guru. E.g. I haven't got 4.0 yet 
because I am watching this list, downloading updates and
bug fixes and will upgrade when the flow of bug 
reports diminishes. I may sound cowardish but at least
it's me who will not be sending messages with subjects like
"Buggy 4.0 && unhappy user" and so on.  :)
