 From my SW background, an upgrade would check for, preserve and restore 
customer defaults. 

But, if I were Leica, and SW was not my strength, and couldn't afford to 
develop a proper upgrade procedure, I'd blow away and customer-set 
defaults and reset the camera.

Imagine, if you were to upgrade Verizon's cell phone software and blow 
away their provisioned parameters. Wouldn't be a happy sight.
