You do? I rev'd Mandrake 9.2 to 10.1 using urpmi without problems. I'm sure
you can do the same thing with apt based distros. (I haven't used RedHat in a
while, so I don't know if you can rev that the same way these days).
Sometimes large system level changes can cause issues (eg. the change from
devfs to udev), but I can't see gentoo avoiding them.
