I disagree. An upgrade is a "if it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it
scenario". If I don't have feature X and I upgrade, I don't want it to
give me X by default.

If it says "hey, you've now got Fedora X+1 and it has some great
features like YYYYY and ZZZZZ that you are currently missing out on -
would you like to enable them?" then that's a different proposition...
