I am not talking about removing the data I am talking of not beeing
able to access it because the database itself is still in the old
version.

Unless you use the migrate script, which just started to appear, you
had to dump the data, to the rpm upgrade and import the data.

I really prefer the debian way where I can run them parallel and
therefore test everything before I do a switchover.
