Comment (by mariovalney):

 Hey :)

 I want to help on this ticket.

 By now I would like to propose a simple solution: allow user to overwrite
 plugins/themes.

 Some attention points:

 - It's not automatic so it's a user decision and probably will be checked
 after a error from default case.
 - I love the "Decisions, not Options", but I guess this is a acceptable
 decision to be taken by anyone uploading a plugin by zip.
 - Maybe add a tooltip description? I'll search a example in admin to keep
 UX.

 If you think is not a good approach, I can return to the starting idea to
 create a most smart solution to upgrade only.
