I've been using feisty for a few weeks now on my laptop. I did the
"gksudo update-manager -c -d" and it went fairly smoothly. A number of
packages ended up being removed, but I put them back as I needed.

There are some bugs in some of the packages, and you're likely to
discover some yourself. If you're up to submitting bug reports, you're
more likely to be able to get the bugs you find fixed before release!

One way to try out feisty without harming anything is to grab the latest
CD, use it just as a live CD and see how it goes. See if the hurdles you
face with edgy are resolved, and try to uncover new bugs, too.
