FYI, that upgrade check won't execute early enough in the process to block
the upgrade the way everything is processed if you're using the update
component (I need to re-test installing the package via the extension
manager to see what happens). Hence the reason I released a stand-alone
app to tell users this info (
https://github.com/mbabker/J30UpgradeCheck,
shared on the Bug Squad list a few days ago). That's the best solution I
can give until we can at least make the upgrade script's preflight method
available to the upgrade component before all the files are FTP'd up.
