As a matter of interest, how reliable is 'sage -upgrade'? I seem to see
numerous reports of problems people have when upgrading.
The following is meant to answer your question:
$ sage -upgrade
...
* WARNING: This is a source-based upgrade, which could take hours,
fail and render your Sage install useless!!
Do you want to continue [y/N]?
I've always wanted to change the name to "sage
-secrete_upgrade_option_for_william_only" but that didn't go over so
well.

Do you know why it is unreliable? Could it be made more reliable, whilst still
being useful?
