For example, prepare/move old compat libs if users also want to use old binaries? http://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/utils/sysinst/aout2elf.c Preparing and testing such upgrade mechanism would be a bit boring work (there are few developers who care releases and sysinst itself) so I'm afraid no one will take it... --- Izumi Tsutsui
