Short version: Nothing blew up, but the new version didn't find
something that the old version did, until I gave different options to
the new version.
Long version: I unloaded the relevant kernel modules to simulate running
sensors-detect on a system that hasn't had lm_sensors set up before. I
didn't use any command-line arguments to sensors-detect, and I took all
the defaults by hitting "enter" at each prompt. I did this for both the
version from lm_sensors 3.0.3 (sensors-detect version 5337) and the
latest version. This is on a system with an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
motherboard.
The results from version 5337 (shipped with 3.0.3):

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO):
To load everything that is needed, add this to one of the system
initialization scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local):
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
# Chip drivers
# no driver for Analog Devices ADT7475 yet
modprobe it87
modprobe k8temp
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s
#----cut here----

The difference is that it didn't find the adt7475. I re-ran the new
version of sensors-detect, supplying non-default answers, in an attempt
to get it to find the adt7475. Here are the places where I gave
non-default answers, and the results.

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/no/IPMI ONLY): yes

Finally, here are some general comments on the new script.

I assume this fixes itself when the script goes through the normal
release process.

You should include a few words in the help text about what IPMI ONLY
does and why you would want to choose it or not choose it. Will the
script behave with options that have spaces in them?
I hope this helps!
