That is independent of the system one uses...you could have said
essentially the same thing about any other dist-upgrade policy that
involves a clean start.
The objection to the original snapshot implementation (exactly one
year ago, BTW) wasn't just that "it broke debconf", but that "it broke
debconf and there were many other ways to do it". Things like cirdan's
command and stuff like 'fink list -i' were held up as examples. In
addition, "clean install" loses conf file and high scores lists.
