Yes. Until the next upgrade: which happens with me at the console, at a time which I choose (which includes "oh look, at least I made a complete image before starting an upgrade"), not at the whim of some abstract schmuck trying to fill his KPI quota of systems upgraded.
(And TBH, I think it does solve it better: went from 10.04 to 12.04 to 14.04 to 16.04, and still running well; the upgrades were polite, didn't interfere with normal system use except for one restart each for new kernel, and most importantly didn't break the system. Maybe I was exceptionally lucky, but I dare you to do this from Vista to 7 to 8 to 8.1 to 10)
