Major versions, yes, but not minor versions. The problems occur when you |
| 13 |
upgrade one distro to a later minor version, run it, then go back to the |
| 14 |
older version. config files are intended to be backward-compatible, not |
| 15 |
forward-compatible. This isn't urban myth, I have experienced it. |
