You're correct -- nobody is doing upgrades. Nobody is even _thinking_ about upgrades. Well, I've personally upgraded 1.3.1 to 2.1 using static apt 0.3.18 with a 3-CD set, and no problems there.

We will be making potato CDs for _this_ cycle, but there are several problems that must still be resolved.
