Replying to [comment:9 was]:
> I mentioned this to people at Sage Days and they point out that "sage
-upgrade" rarely works anyways, so we shouldn't be be too worried about
breaking "sage -upgrade".
We should be worried that (or why they feel) upgrading doesn't work for
them though. I guess they just didn't try since last year (when it started
working better). ;-)

However, I see no real point in (or any compelling reason for) removing
`pipestatus`' creation.
If we do so, despite of that it [just] breaks upgrading from older
releases, `spkg/install` should give an appropriate error message in case
`pipestatus` isn't already present. Unfortunately this would happen
'''after''' dozens of spkgs to upgrade have been downloaded, which is a
bit odd.
If at all, we IMHO should remove it in some ''"major"'' release, like e.g.
Sage 5.0, or perhaps Sage 4.8, since people are probably less likely to
upgrade to such a version (with `-upgrade`), or at least more likely to
read its release notes in advance.
