I second that.
Being a more "normal" user that most of you, my installation only usually
has one version of Racket (in general one of the last nightlies).
If you go for the upgrade option, it would be really appreciated if, during
installation or on the first run of DrRacket (preferably the former,
because of DrRacket Tools), I'm asked whether I want to keep/migrate my
packages for the new version.
It's currently quite annoying to have to do all this reinstalling by hand.
