Eileen,
The normal way of upgrading will always be there. For those experienced enought to hack their forums it will be just as easy to go about upgrading the way you always have. Update your files like normal and then run the altertable scripts.
What I'm trying to do with the installer/upgrade scripts is to help those that aren't really computer savvy. They normally don't hack their boards, they just want it to run.
