Thanks! As I mentioned on IRC, I'll also try to improve this feature, I'm
just very busy with other projects at the moment.

Unfortunately the road to the current sysinstall hell was paved with just such good intentions. My suggestion is that we all get out of the way of the people who are, actually, DOING the work. :)

As was mentioned on IRC, I think a good stopgap would be to at least
remove the upgrade option from the main menu. It's not really an
acceptable form of upgrade, it doesn't do an intelligent merging of
config files. It would be better placed in the Fixit submenu if we're
going to be leaving it around for a while and renaming it to something
like "Mangle My Filesystem". :P

Sounds like a better option would be to just remove it from the menu altogether and ifdef 0 the code. That way if $SOMEONE wants to step in and fix the existing code within a reasonable period of time (6 months or less?) then they will still have that option, but users won't suffer in the meantime.
