Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:10 jorbin]:
 > @dd32 do you think there is a benefit in adding this in for the
 transports that can support it?  Do we want to go with a progressive
 enhancement approach to the transports so that ones which can easily
 support solutions to issues like this get them, while ones like FTP in
 this situation miss out?

 Depending on what "it" is, then yes.

 The Core Upgrade already performs a lot of extra checks that Plugin &
 Themes don't, if we can bring any of those over we should.

 Simply running a `is_writable` loop over all of the items being touched
 could work, as that's a no-op function for FTP, it'll be a progressive
 enhancement.
