Nope, you can actually upgrade them on the fly; init 1,
do some magic (i.e. follow the instructions) and off you
go.  Just upgraded 2 11.0 installs to 12.0 with no hassles.
In fact, one of those machines has been running Slack since 8
w/o a re-install ... just kept upgrading.

Read again ...  http://slackware.com/announce/12.0.php  
Slack12 uses a 2.6.21.5 by default.

You need to upgrade your prejudice ;}
