How do you upgrade to the latest WordPress version with as little effort as possible ? [btw: WP 2.3 ‘Dexter’ was released yesterday, appears to be a fairly big upgrade]

German opensource consulting team Zirona have been working on this and have released a plugin - InstantUpgrade - that looks serious and so it should, when your letting it wipe out files and twiddle with your data base.

Please note: Upgrading a web application is a critical task. Of course we did our best to create a stable and careful software, and we haven’t heard any very few, and non-fatal complaints so far. Still, please be sure to have working backups.

The time for instant upgrades in nigh, me thinks.
