It may be true that forcing our users to upgrade by hand one day before
the beta release day, once that hamm is in "deep freeze mode", and once
that lots of people have already installed hamm is a great inconvenience
for many of them and a bad idea, but it would not be the first time we
tell our users to upgrade a package "by hand" (remember the upgrade from
Debian 1.2 to 1.3?). So the issue about being "absurd" or not would be
relative, not absolute.
