1.17 has a new installer being worked on, which seams to both provide installation capabilities to command line (which previously only could do upgrades), and upgrade capabilities to the web interface (which previously could only do installation), so my guess is that by the time we get something that makes extension upgrade easier we'll already have something that makes MW upgrade easier. Unless of course you decide to modify the source code... not that WordPress and the other platforms with self-upgrade similar to what you are thinking of even support such a thing...
