And generous documentation and backups. You could even do your upgrades
without worrying about automounting and NFS (each of which are their own
cans of worms), having made good use of partitioning, backups, and
created good (electronic) documentation.

Most of my time during "upgrades" is spent copying and pasting from
transcripts of previous installations ...
