I believe we are arguing over words which have different meanings depending
on what each person is talking about.

Does supported mean:

a) We guarantee that upgrade works always and without problems?
b) We guarantee that upgrade code works but may encounter problems if you
have done stuff other than a default install/stuff.
c) We guarantee that the upgrade code is there, and it should work but you
should know what you are doing
d) There is some code, we worked on it, you can activate it, but that is
all we can say.

Each of those has been said of upgrade by various developers over the years
(Jeremy Katz would try to get it down to D but Gafton would want it to be
b) and every new person on anaconda would say they wanted to get to a
someday.)
