That would be likely to break various user programs. Sometimes a
program – for example an email client – changes its internal file
format or directory layout. When the new version sees the old format,
it concludes that it has been upgraded, and automatically converts the
files to the new format. Then you reboot into another OS with an older
version of the program, which doesn't understand the new format.
