As you said, for most folks it's one-and-done. I certainly don't run 'svn
upgrade' often enough to have a feel for its performance. But, man, I have
trouble imagining that our users will be anything but appalled that it is
somehow faster to download all new copies of their files and such from the
network than just to fiddle with WC administrative data. Especially
considering the fact that our primary "sell" of 1.7 is precisely that such
admin fiddling is supposed to be faster with WC-NG. Knowwhatimean?

I wouldn't propose an answer to this question until I knew more about
upgrade's performance characteristics nearer our release time. Out of
curiosity, though, how are you affected if others do have a strong opinion
about it?
