You mean, the *packages* on an existing target; there is an upgrade path for
the recipes at build time via RPROVIDES.
I can send a patch to add the RREPLACES, but then the question is when can
they be removed in future? I don't particularly like the answer "never". If we
do have to enable supporting them in perpetuity I'd much rather they get added
to an inc file that can optionally be included at the distro level by those who
want to support upgrades from much older versions to a newer one.
Cheers,
Paul
