I consider the SMF upgrade file a bug.  We're working to get rid of it, 
albeit more slowly than I'd like.  Once there's a credible proposal, 
it'll unsurprisingly be discussed on smf-discuss before being brought 
before the ARC.

And since this thread got here through an ARC-ish discussion, I'll also
note that's why the SMF upgrade file isn't a public interface.
