I don't know, better safe than sorry. You are touching users Data here.
they should have an informed choice. A message box, something? maybe
refuse to run, than he will notice.
So a first time newbie installs wine and is very happy with it. After
1/2 a year he feels more confident and the new release fixes a game he
likes or something, He tries it out and his old setup is broken. Than
what he think off wine? Unless we state it in bold letters in every
possible documentation (and have a cancel flag like --noupgrade) than
you must confirm with the user.
