If the Maverick-Natty-Mix is ok, you should make a backup, before doing
upgrades. It's even dangerous to add third party repositories for the
used version of a Linux distro, that's why apps like synaptic and yast2
try to take care when upgrading. Yast2 ask you before switching
repositories for an upgrade and synaptic has got several options for
doing upgrades and a history.
