No. I upgraded to Devuan-jessie from a Debian-strech and a
Debian-wheezy boxes rather than direct. Both are headless servers. One
was a ASUS Intel P2/3 mobo and the other a MSI Intel Celeron mobo, if
that matters. YMMV, but no problems with either. Certainly quicker
than the two "user" workstations carrying bloat.
