Am sure quite a few people will be happy with this move to enable live
cd's to upgrade an existing system.

Ubuntu Live CD Will Let You Upgrade To Newer Ubuntu Versions [Ubuntu
11.04 Development]

An update to the Ubuntu 11.04 installer (Ubiquity) finally brings
upgrade support to the Ubuntu Live CD. That means that for instance if
you use Ubuntu 10.10, when you'll boot the Ubuntu 11.04 Live CD you'll
have an option to upgrade (without losing your documents and installed
applications). Besides this change, there's also a redesigned
partitioner:

Because this has just landed in Ubuntu 11.04 (and because Ubuntu 11.04
is still in alpha!), it's best not to try this feature yet as it may
break stuff (I didn't tested it).
