Why does the upgrade to 3.2 strip out custom template bit's & delete data?

[.Ian]

Hi,

I have noticed that running an upgrade any custom template bits and indeed changes to any skin template are removed. Well the additional template bits are not removed, but the content of them are deleted.

Any reason for this?

Would it please be possible for the upgrade script to leave previous skins alone - whilst they will not work with 3.2 if people have made changes, they do not really want to lose them.

Sure one could export any skins before you start, and then delete and re-import them, but I can't see too many people doing this.

Thanks.

The upgrader should save/rename your previous skin and add a new default one. Deleting the content of custom templates sounds like a bug, report it in the tracker with some more details if possible please.
