During QA meeting, people were generally in favor of this idea. I was asked to check with Will Woods, system-upgrade maintainer. I did that, and he has no objections. He says it's no extra work for him and that the most work is needed from package maintainers when designing dependencies, scriptlets, etc. This is something to consider as well, but I think we implicitly want all packages to be upgradable forward (even when skipping a release). And I don't remember any issues with this lately. Does someone have some additional concerns about this?
