And how is drilling down into plans for the installer a lack of good 
faith - given that the issue of how upgrades and clean installs will be 
handled is apparently still up in the air?

Those of us who run production systems have to, you know, PLAN for 
transitions, and worry about things like continuity of operations - 
understanding what an install will look like for Jessie, and 
understanding what pitfalls to look out for - seems a perfectly 
legitimate question to address.
