No.  I don't expect any major problems, but it's the little gotchas that
get ya'.  Particularly since I'm going to be doing a customized,
"non-standard" install.

I've been running several installs of Stretch FC3 (duly dist-upgraded)
in VirtualBox for testing.  No problems so far: installing, switching to
new inits, dist-upgrades, etc.  I just want to check out what's
happening with everyone else, etc.

So, you WANT problems?  Install Unstable. Or Windows 10. ;-)

On my custom (now 5 years old) Wheezy/Openbox install with LXpanel,
three virtual terminals and xfe filemanager compared to a typical LXDE
environment similarly config'd, there was a BIG difference in RAM
usage.  Response was noticably slower, too, but not to the point of
being too annoying. Like menus took a split second longer to pop up.
