+1 on having a quiz, but I have some reservations about it. When doing upgrades, one thing that I don't like is to have the install stop all the time asking for questions. The problem is that sage compilation takes a lot of time and I like to let it do that in the night. If one stops all the time, I have to be there to answer everything. That already happens with unresolved merges :( The ideal would be if the upgrade process made the 'quiz' in the beginning, so the user could answer everything up front.
