Has anyone done this yet, with or without problems?

I know I upgraded from Debian Jessie to Devuan Jessie long before it
was stable and hd no problems, except for dumping packages that
depended on systemd, which I wasn't really using anyway.

Could it already be the same for stretch and ascii?

By the way, is it ascii or Ascii or ASCII? The character code is
indeed ASCII, being an acronym, but is the asteroid also spelled in
all caps?
