I've done 8 to 10 (by way of 9) on ten different machines in the
year preceding the 11 release and I didn't find it very difficult or
time-consuming, though admittedly these were servers and those tend
to be less complex than desktops.
I'm not sure that going from 10 to 11 would add that much extra
work; it really depends on what packages are installed and how
carefully their configuration changes must be examined.
But yeah I wouldn't recommend it without that qualification, and it
may well be the case that a clean install is simpler and faster at
that point. A lot of people prefer that even for version x to
version x+1 changes.
Cheers,
Andy
