Is the automatic update pluggable at this point? If not, would that be an option for 2.8? Maybe an option to "Protect" a given folder... I could see this frustrating a less tech-savvy user who ignored the warnings and upgraded without backing up their files.
I think there definitely needs to eventually be away to protect certain files or folders that WP wants to delete, without having to rename them.
