The upgrade path does
not let you create a master catalog (one that I "throw away" later).
You have to do that outside of the dialogs.  I don't understand
why you are not given the option to create it in the SSA screen
like you are for the replacement path.

Why? Well...because we didn't think it necessary when the design was written. (Someone else wrote that one but I was an active participant and reviewer, so I can take my share of the cr--, um, blame.)

Even now, some years and some well-thought-out feedback later, I'm not 100% sure it should be changed. It's an advanced technique, and the people who seem likely to use it seem likely to know how to create a usercat. One must balance the confusion factor of having more options against their value.
