I beg to differ here: I always did my upgrades OTA and never had problems. Most of the time the problem arises when people activate test/dev repo's, installing unsupported "bad" things and such. If you know what you're doing, this is fine, but the basic user should stay away from test/dev repo's. Where does it say that reflashing is recommended for major updates?
