This is a little offtopic, but I did a "day zero upgrade" to trusty on my  
main system (not mythbuntu, but with mythfrontend installed) yesterday  
night and it behaves quite well. (my ssd said "talk to the hand" and was  
remounted ro during the upgrade which left the system in a weird state,  
but this is a different story and I was able to recover the system and  
proceed the upgrade ... nothing related to trusty)

I use Gnome 3 Flashback (Compiz) and the only "major" issue is that I can  
not freely chose the color of the compiz firepaint effect now... :D :D

My upgrade path originated from precise which was a fresh install. I will  
not say that it will be smooth for everyone to follow this path, but there  
were upgrades in the past that went worse .... incredibly worse! ;-)

Not a bad animal this tahr one!
