Well if you want to pull that sort of seniority thing I've been
developing software for 35 years or so.  Length of experience
doesn't necessarily equate with wisdom!  ... and that applies to both

Well it's a bit difficult to move from Slackware to Fedora without
doing a clean install.  It also appears from the Fedora users list
that upgrading from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 isn't always straightforward.

Doing a re-install also has the advantage of discarding the junk that
slowly accumulates over upgrades.
