Usually, the upgrading of production related software lies under an admin
or a person with proper ACLs who defiantly reads the documentation before
upgrading. If there is a section in `Upgrade Docs` which indicates `Breaking
changes in 0.8.x`, then it is easy to just point the person to a script that
can be even downloaded remotely with instructions of how it works. (maybe a
place on git called migration):
1. Copy `Notebook` and `conf` directories to `0.8.0`,
2. `curl` the script and run it pointing to new `Notebook` directory,
3. Start the new Zeppelin.
PS: I would say let's have a script and a notebook available for those who
would prefer either. But not shipped with Zeppelin. I don't want this Note or
script do anything automatically. I would like to download them remotely and
follow the instructions from `How to upgrade to 0.8.x`.
