Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6061:
----------------------------------
Here's another thought: the Dev Guide topic "Soft upgrade limitations" is
superfluous.
At releases 10.1 and 10.2 this topic described specific features of those
releases that were not available in a soft upgrade. Then for releases 10.3
through 10.5 this topic was not modified, so the features list was obsolete.
Then we took out the feature-specific text and pointed readers to the release
notes. Now almost all the information in that topic is also in the previous
topic ("Upgrading a database"), with the exception of a couple of sentences
that could be moved there.
I am going to revise the patch to make these changes -- what do you think?

> In the Developer's Guide we describe two kinds of upgrade, "full" and "soft".
> I think we used to use the terms "hard" and "soft", and "hard" was changed to
> "full" to provide a more accurate description of what happens. There are
> still a few leftover occurrences of "hard" in the docs here and there.
> However, "soft" doesn't provide much indication of what happens in that kind
> of upgrade. Would "partial" be more correct? If not, is there a good
> alternative?
> I can go through the docs and fix the language based on whatever you all
> think makes sense.
