My point is that it is not extra effort. Merely different effort. 
Having the upgrade logic in the installer versus having the installer 
call the plugin_upgrade_$plugin function. Where is the extra effort? 
The only extra effort now is that the code in plugin_upgrade_$plugin 
was out of date. Moving the code there once is all the effort needed 
and then the issue of where does it get maintained never needs to be 
raised again.
