If something is wrong with the upgrade we shouldn't have released the
stable grimoire. Therefore it makes sense to do it before rather than
after. Also, thats pretty much what the release process already
qualifies as we test upgrades of every spell in basesystem. My point is,
through testing we basically get the next chroot for free.
