Well, kind of. Few parts to this: - We probably will not return to the "run it in chroot" model we tried before - It would be nice if there were no questions for the most obvious transitions - Maybe split it into parts, so that some parts can be run (silently?) at the tail of the upgrade script, without needing chroot because it uses nothing fancy? A few developers need to talk at a future hackathon and hash this out.
