Perhaps users that can't be troubled to read an upgrade guide [1] don't deserve to have a functioning system? To me, it seems awfully irresponsible to switch to a new profile that one knows nothing about. If the user is irresponsible enough to do that, then who knows what other irresponsible things they might do?
