Am I missing something or are people taking an unnecessary step?

In Oct '04 I installed Warty from the ISO.  
Six or 8 months later, I upgraded by changing warty to hoary in sources.list, and running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.  
Some months after that, I installed kubuntu by installing kubuntu-desktop.  
About six months ago, I upgraded to breezy by changing hoary to breezy in sources.list, and again running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

The last upgrade did not remove the gnome stuff, (though most of it I could do without; I can only remember using synaptic and easytag since switching to kubuntu).  So why would changing breezy to dapper in sources.list, and again running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, remove any gnome programs that you want?
