   There was a '25 discussion in the LM forum about upgrade vs reinstall.   
      
   In that discussion there was 'support' to the idea that upgrading was   
   'OK' for the point releases, but for the full digit, that reinstall was   
   'better' than upgrading.   
      
   I think the same thing can be said for rollers; and so users would be   
   'best' to organize and prepare for reinstall and to learn how to do   
   that, as part of a 'multi-focal' backup plan.
