This is actually a problem for people who still run old code and want to
upgrade. =:)
I think we should consider to offer "upgrade packs", ie Drupal tarballs
without the parts that are not needed, ie most modules, and of course the
xml-rpc stuff.
I just met somebody on #drupal who needs to upgrade from 4.2...
