[racket-dev] Packaging

One more comment: one of PLaneT's design goals what that if you have a
working system and you install a new planet package, then you didn't
break any of the working parts from before. The new system doesn't
seem to have that as a design goal anymore (I noticed automatic
upgrades and "freezing" being an explicit operation but there may be
other places).

Do you have a rationale for deviating from this seemingly nice property?
