Any reasons given?  I guess many people complain about the installers 
not detecting their 'brand new' wonder device properly - usually because 
the open source folk haven't engineered a driver yet.

I've personally been using it (well, actually 'cooker') for a few months 
and had no major problems..  just seems like they upgraded all the libs, 
and the applications, tidied bits up and made it look a little 
fancier.... as with most distribution upgrades :P
