Thanks for the posting. I thought Mike's list of questions to ask about upgrades is equally useful as a set of queries to apply to decisions on updates.

If the upgrade turns out poorly and you have to downgrade, you certainly may downgrade using a CCC backup from an earlier OS. These sorts of procedures require time and effort, though, so you should weigh that potential hassle against the potential gain of the OS upgrade.
