So, it's my preference ;-) Upgrading the system in two steps has one important advantage. It allows you to make the first part (aout-to-elf-build) on a running system, without affecting working users. This part takes plenty of time. The second part (aout-to-elf-build) is more dangerous, so it's better to do it in single user mode.
