That has nothing to do with the upgrade.  The upgrade program 
upgrades the /etc/ directory it finds in memory.

What you're asking is for the boot process to untar the old etc
directory if it finds it.  I think that would cause more problems 
than it's worth.

Maybe we should change the wording on the home page so it excludes 0.5?
