That comment is completely misinformed. The issues with upgrading do
not come from multi-user systems, but from system services that use
node monitoring - watching your hard disk - to be informed on newer
components and to load them as they become available. You can imagine
that it is bad when the kernel detects a new driver for your hard disk
and as such unloads the old one. That means havoc!
