I haven't noticed this happen to anything k12ltsp-related.  Although, I
have seen it happen for the kernel (new kernel broken) but that is why
new kernels aren't set to boot by default.  At the worst, for example,
if the /etc/samba/smb.conf format changed heavily (which it hasen't in
forever), he'd only have to reconfig his shares.

Don't forget that all these upstream projects, while maybe not concerned
with any particular OS, do try to be backwards-compatible.  If you
consider the OS expendable, recovery is simpler.  Just worry about /home
and any other place you hide user data (something you always check for
whenever you add a role to the server - ie database, web, mail, etc.).

Moo,
Tom
