Yeah. This is one of the reasons we needed RC2 - the upgrade SQL
script in RC1 was not at all ready for upgrades (other than a few of
the minor schema changes that I had introduced). We need to be more
clear when we push out a release candidate whether it's intended to
support migration or just give people a chance to try out new
features.

Go directly to RC2. Do not stop at RC1; do not collect $200.
