IMHO, If someone does not take time to read a manual then it is not even worth considering his opinions/rant on a new release.
Of course, you are right.On the other hand, on updating my debian system from old-stable to new-stable, I also would take the approach of Jason Norwood-Young, ie. on a non-production system, I would just hit aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade and expect that works _without_ having to read all of the 110-pages Installation Guide (for Debian Sarge i386).
Well, everyone knows that they should read the manual first, but who actually does? Especially, if one just wants to try a new release.
