   Yabbut; that's not 'close enough' to a real-world evolution. In the real   
   world, what would be happening thru' all of those versions would be   
   changes in your software, system and applications.  Your 'original'   
   install would be considerably more 'battered' by your usage and changes   
   over the years.  Your experiment is a simpler evolution.   
      
   I too have done installs followed by updates and not had any problem;   
   but I also do quite a bit of live + persistence instead of conventional   
   install + update/upgrade.
