In general I think that upgrades are far more risky (difficult to get
right) than full reinstallations, an take about the same time, for any
Unix version. If the system manager has been careful (a big if) a
reinstallation followed by localization takes very little effort. If the
system manager has been sloppy about localization than upgrades will not
help a lot either.
