[openstack-dev] Upgrade from Essex to Grizzly has to be supported

Hi,

It seems that by policy, upgrading directly from Essex to Grizzly isn't
supported. There's simply no SQL upgrade scripts for it.

Though, I think this is a huge mistake. Currently, in Debian, we have
Essex in Wheezy and SID, and Grizzly in Experimental. There's no room
for Folsom anymore. I already have some bug reports that it isn't
possible to upgrade from SID to Experimental.

As much as I understand, the only problem is the SQL upgrade scripts.
What would it take to have the Essex to Folsom upgrade scripts re-added
to Grizzly? Is this something I will have to maintain myself (which
would be quite annoying), or could the policy change, and the scripts
added upstream?

Thoughts?
