The Distribution Wizard [1] and the Extension Updater [2] are steps in this direction. We currently support upgrading wiki pages (XAR extensions) and non-core components (JAR extensions). Upgrading core components (that are loaded by the web container) and merging configuration files from the file system is more difficult but it's something want to do in the end.
