Consider the commercial user of NetBSD.  They don't want to have to
think about things, they just want to click on ``upgrade'' and have
their OS come up to 1.3 from 1.2.

This makes a compelling reason to make things as safe as possible, and
to document what the differences are between 1.2 and 1.3 that
	o users see
	o admins see
as two seperate documents, or two seperate portions of one log, in a
human readable format.

It also argues for seperate /etc/rc.* files, more loadable kernel
modules, and kernel autoconfiguration (custom kernel compiled if
possible...  If we have a CD, source for a kernel shouldn't be a
space problem...)
