Not necessarily; while the bulk of the special-casing could be done in the
theoretical distroupgrade plugin, there could be certain cases where the
online upgrade plugin would bail and say "sorry, I can't help you; you'll
need the full installer".

Or, maybe there comes a point where drawing a line is reasonable. SGI does
that all the time, and look where that's gotten them.... :) :) :)
