Before I answer that, here's a question.  Why do we think it's a good
idea to distribute upgrades as separate add-ons while we don't think
it's okay to distribute such upgrades with bugfix releases?  Doesn't
this just increase the variability of site configurations, and hence
version interaction hell?
