The fear may be that a fresh install will be needed (a pain) as 
upgrading the existing installation often comes with warnings that it 
might not work.  That's why I switched to a rolling release (LMDE) so 
I'll never need to upgrade and reinstall and setup all the software I 
need and config again.  So they tell me.   I'll tell you if it's true in 
a few years!   My /home is mounted on its own partition, so that's not a 
pain (but is for users who don't know how to use gparted to do that),  
but even then I fear problems if I point a new release to my single 
/home and then need to roll back (the new release may have changed files 
in ~).
Do you do a fresh install every 6 months or do you upgrade your existing?
