Comment(by DD32):

 This is *very* much more difficult than it sounds.

 Each step of the upgrade/install process for each is very similar to
 eachother, but given theres about a dozen of these steps..

 In addition to that, sometimes they need to be called in a different
 order, Its really not clean to combine them at all.. Well, Not with the
 way they're currently written.

 Re-writing it from scratch is an option, but thats something that would
 have to wait until 2.9 (as 2.8 is getting too close AFAIK)
