Yes, I did, but I repeat my suggestion nonetheless.
This information should be available in the distribution packages. Having it online as well is a bonus, but it doesn't help somebody who's trying to upgrade thier laptop on a boat or something.

The tool which should be online but is not, is a DB of update requirements which can be queried.

Ideally somebody would be able to input their current version and thier target version, and then they would be returned a script of exactly what they must do. I'd be happy if only the scripts which must be run were listed, but in the perfect world the returned result would be every step needed, beginning with "download this package" and ending with "congratulations". The list would have direct links to anything which needed to be downloaded, and the whole interface would offer the possibility of having the results e-mailed to one or more recipients.

In fact, if somebody in development at eZ could get me some formal and complete documentation on which scripts need to be run at which incremental upgrades, I'll build the thing myself and give it back to the community.
