I don't know.  This all depends on the 3-4 people who stepped forward
and promised to be working on various solutions to the upgrade problem
in time for 2.1. :-(

For 2.0.5, my general plan was (if no one else stepped forward with
something better) to simply document the steps to follow _very
carefully_, culling details out of the 20 or so email messages I've
received from people detailing their own upgrade procedures.
Not the best, but a heck of a lot better than nothing!
