I thought my recent in-situ upgrade (Stretch -> Buster) went surprisingly
well seeing that it was the first Raspbian attempt at in-situ upgrades.
By and large it 'just worked' even though it took its time (but then so
do Fedora in-situ upgrades and they've been doing them for the last 10
distro versions). But, you MUST have Stretch fully updated before
attempting it.
