I have no idea - but they can't possibly do it any worse then redhat. RH
offers an "upgrade" option - but it breaks almost _everything_. SuSE seems
to be far more concerned in quality control than just churning out
releases for the sake of it - RH seems to be more concerned with "Our
version number is higher than yours, Ner Ner".

YMMV.
