The updates system can prevent problems by checking and refusing to 
release a update with packaging issues that would be hindrance for updates.

We could have a separate upgrade module which does that release specific 
massaging/hacks/workarounds/obsoleting dropped packages etc and that can 
be called from a live upgrade tool as well as Anaconda.

Pup should notify users when the release they are using reaches end of 
life as well as availability of new releases and the live upgrade tool 
should be hooked into pup. For the next release, we might maintain it as 
a experimental feature and stabilize this as we have move forward. There 
are some cases where a live upgrade wont work efficiently but for 
majority of use cases the only reason live upgrades dont work properly 
are real packaging problems which we should be fixing anyway.
