FWIW,
I upgraded 5 machines yesterday. It wasn't as straight forward as
debian upgrades usually ARE IMHO.
Issues I ran into
1) exim4 configuration broke. paths such as
/srv/mail/{$domain}/${local_part} no longer work (and probably should
never have ;) ).
2) 2 out of 5 machines failed to reboot until I used the console to
disable selinux (kernel parameter selinux=0). I am not certain how to
re-enable it and make it reboot ;(
3) cgroups v1 no longer supported (I had some old code that broke due
to that) essentially /sys/fs/cgroup/.. no longer supported
During the upgade ssh connections don't work (connection refused) for
some time (>1 hour in my case), which is a bit scary. I used telnet-
over-vpn for some machines.
Hope that helps others to avoid the trouble I ran into.
