_Are_ members here upgrading?
Yes

I personally prefer using the DVD Media to upgrade, by booting from the disk and choosing upgrade - it's a little more reliable, as you have no processes running in the system under upgrade and therefore nothing to get in the way.
Also less likely for me to make a mistake with repository addresses
I have many openSUSE installations. I have only one recollection of ever doing an upgrade via "DVD". That was a test to see if an upgrade from 13.2 i586 to Leap (no i586 arch available) was viable. It bombed. Most of my installations are a result of zypper upgrades. Zypper is the king of package managers, marvelous software. Repository mistakes, when I have made them, IIRC have always been recoverable.
I am looking into the possibility of Leap 42.2 having something like SLE 12 SP1's new 'zypper migration' feature, which automagically does all the repo changing and stuff for you
Intriging. Is there an open FATE or bug that interested openSUSE users can access? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
