Of course and it certainly would be desirable to upgrade if at all possible.
However for some combinations of hardware a graphical install will fail and
if a text install is used instead then some systems (eg those with Intel
82845G graphics) will not work at all well once F10 is installed until the
relevant driver is fixed.

I've been putting off upgrading until the last possible moment in the (futile) hope
that someone would look at this bug and I could provide some data.
After all it is marked as Urgent but yet its been around for over 2 years. I've even
tried e-mailing the assignee directly but no response. What's the point of filing bugs
if no one looks at them? Very disappointing.
Oh well, I tried. Tonight I'm upgrading with the DVD.
Steve.
