This is a good thing, IMHO.  Enabling it on an upgrade is going to
require some manual changes and thus I don't think that it should get
pulled in on an upgrade.

Well, eventually this needs to just be made more seamless in general.
Upgrades right now are a shaky proposition, especially if you throw LVM
into the mix, even through anaconda much less any other method.
