The upgrade between version 2 and version 3 > is fairly trivial, and upstream provide tools that do this. In my opinion, the upgrade is not as easy as you might think for users who have added extra scrips and customised things. The upgrade tool is not distributed with RT3 because it's not considered production quality. Unless the upgrade happens easily and transparently we're doing the users a disservice. Give them the choice and they can upgrade at a time of their choosing. -- Andrew Stribblehill <ads@debian.org> Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England
