Realistically, there's on the order of one or two of these per release.
And they don't tend to be the same so "making it work" isn't something
that's practically worth the, in some cases quite large, effort.  Hell,
handling some of them even in the context of a not live upgrade can be
painful enough.

Right now, it just unconditionally formats swap on ppc on upgrade.  So
perhaps it's not that it's clever enough; more that it's too dumb not to
do so ;-)
