Comment (by ilovewpsomuch):

 This is so cool, how fumbling of a character set issue and little flaws in
 this hugely complicated upgrade engine, results in my company having to
 discontinue sales and me being not deal with the fallout.  If I had a vote
 I would vote for making the upgrade process short.  With such a long and
 intricate process, it is inevitable that breakdowns would be routine,
 which indeed they are, as shown Google searchng on WP upgrades causing
 problems.


 What is the process for doing a review on the upgrade architecture?  Is
 this discussion the primary control?
