[ydl-gen] Upgrade rant, was: Re: over-the-wire upgrading of 4.01 to 4.1

You know, this is one thing that M$ and Apple have over GNU/Linux in 
every distro I know of. You can upgrade the O.S. without erasing and 
starting over. Your applications stay put (although they may not run in 
some cases), your preferences stay put, your documents stay put. It's so 
much easier. As much as I love Linux, and I use YDL 3.0.1 all the time, 
I wish Linux distros would do a better job of being able to upgrade in 
place.
