Comment:
Replying to [comment:28 vbraun]:

guarantee upgrades.
''We worked hard^TM^'' to make upgrading work (again), without much hassle
such as having to artificially bump spkg patch levels to trigger a
"rebuild", but people tend to create new pitfalls or refuse to remove the
existing ones, and apparently don't care much about whether upgrading will
work with their changes, so testing the latter is (or had been) mostly up
to the release manager.
And the "disabling" of upgrades ''from'' betas (or alphas to that time,
IIRC) for a while presumably didn't encourage people to test upgrading
either.

"make distclean && make" works I don't consider it a blocker.

(Once upon a time...)
Buildbots could (and IMHO should) not just test building from scratch, but
also upgrading (nowadays `git pull` plus `[env SAGE_UPGRADING=yes] make`),
at least from the last stable release, say.
