1. -U option requires system to have the copy of the database from the 
previous upgrade. It gives no help on the system that was installed from CD.

2. If the functionality has some issues leading to false positives I can

3. I don't see anything so technically bad about that feature (put aside 
implementation details). I would like to hear some of your principal 
objections.
