Ofbiz has never supported upgrades. I agree with BJ here.
Database tables can change. Not all changes are automatic. Such
changes are not listed in a simple place(in the source).
Values in tables can change. No upgrade conversions are
provided(again, in a simple place).
Is this useless?

Pretty much. Way to hard to follow. Too much information. Needs more
automation.
And I'm a fairly technical ofbiz guy. And where is this linked from?
I should rephrase that.
That document is too techincal, even for those who are quite familiar
with the internals of ofbiz.
People just doing plain jane installs will have no idea how to deal
with that document.
What we need to do, is become stupid. Forget everything you know.
Then try to read that.
The other issue is when did ofbiz last *officially* release? Waiting
too long to release gives *large* changes that have to be done manually.
Plus, if someone(brainfood or bj) has based an install off of an svn
*snapshot*, then we can't expect the project to help us much when
doing upgrade conversions.
