Comment (by csixty4):

 It's a great idea from a user experience standpoint, but complicated by
 the fact PHP's filesystem & FTP functions don't give any kind of useful
 error status. The filesystem code could do a set of triage checks after
 failures, but that would only identify reasons that *might* prevent an
 upgrade from completing.

 I'm working on a plugin called [https://github.com/daveross/upgrade-first-
 aid upgrade-first-aid] that does those kinds of checks outside of the
 plugin upgrader itself. It might be a good idea to add a disk space check
 ([http://php.net/manual/en/function.disk-free-space.php
 disk_free_space()]) to that plugin's code.
