Well, it was how you got from 2.x to 3.x... first, update to 2.x-stable, buildworld then jump to 3.x from there. I don't think this is too bad a deal as it drastically cuts down the variables we have to deal with and we might be able to make it work. If we support source-based upgrades from 3.x -> latest 3.x-stable -> 4.x (as an alternative to a binary reinstall) I think we can get away with it and make it fly. Supporting 3.0->4.0-current is harder than supporting 3.3-stable -> 4.0. If we try and handle too many combinations, we won't do any of them properly.
