Pfft. I have had pretty much no problems with Feisty, and I've been
running it for some time now on my production desktop and two laptops,
as well as two virtual machines.
There was a problem the other day with some manky x11-common package but
someone of Mr Ransoms capabilities would have swiftly taken a sawn-off
shotgun (or perhaps sniper rifle) to the offending package and dealt it
righteous justice no doubt.

They are, best thing to do here is point to the documentation I
suspect:-
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades

Personally, I fail to see how a reinstall is easier than an upgrade. The
vast majority of the time they work. The only time I have seen problems
with upgrades has been after the installation of dodgy drivers from
nvidia.com or the use of tools like automatix.
sudo "update-manager -c" (to go to edgy today from dapper)
sudo "update-manager -d" (to go to feisty today from edgy)
sudo "update-manager -c" (to go to feisty from edgy once it is
released).
YMMV
Cheers,
Al.
