Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's always been *possible* to upgrade to
Final from Test3 already, right? It may require a little massaging but
it's not impossible, or even all that hard. We just don't *guarantee*
that it will magically Just Work.

Rather than putting extra effort into making that guarantee, I'd prefer
to make major release upgrades magically Just Work. If you can't handle
installing TestX without that guarantee (i.e. if the idea of having to
manually remove/downgrade a few packages first is too much for you), you
could always try the LiveCD of TestX instead.

We could have a compromise - we will at least *try* to help anyone using
Test3 upgrade to Final when it finally comes. We can keep a wiki page
with info/workarounds, but I don't think it's wise or desirable to force
the devs to cram that stuff into anaconda and such.
