I DON'T want to get an upgrade such as the one from KDE 3 to 4, the one from Amarok 1 to 2, the one from KDevelop 3 to 4, the one from GNOME 2 to 3 etc. as a regular update! Those are what new releases are for! (And there's your "clear identity separation".) Minor feature release upgrades such as from Amarok 2.2 to 2.3 (which DON'T have feature regressions, configuration incompatibilites etc.), on the other hand, are perfectly fine to push as an update, since they're clear improvements (and actually also fix bugs in addition to adding features).
well, thanks for clarifying. I guess as you say then, the issue is just defining what a potentially troublesome update is.
