System upgrades are usually worthwhile.    You should understand though 
what is happening with any critical packages that are about to be 
updated.    So if EMC is your thing I'd find out what is going one with it.

I think (but don't know for sure) that EMC was rev'ed to solve a specifc 
bug or two.     Based on that I'd say let her rip.    A smart person 
though lets the "early adopters" load and report thier results. ;)

By the way upgrades are a good thing for the most part esepcially if the 
machine is to be connected to the internet.   A good portion of the 
upgrades are usually security related.

Thanks
Dave
