Comment (by toscho):

 I think, we don’t need to change the current way if it works good enough.
 But it would be nice, if we could get a little bit more control.
 If I set a constant `WP_UPGRADE_DIR` in my `wp-config.php` I am
 responsible for the tests. WordPress could then use this path if the
 constant is defined or fall back to the current default.

 Something like this:


 {{{
 function wp_upgrade_dir() {

         if ( defined( 'WP_UPGRADE_DIR' ) && is_writable( WP_UPGRADE_DIR )
 )
                 return WP_UPGRADE_DIR;

         return WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/upgrade';'
 }
 }}}
