The problem of the need for reinstalling/setting up everything again can be easily combatted with the Advanced restoration capabilities of Sprite Backup.
In a lot of cases, not even Sprite Backup is needed. Just restore the old backup (it's possible in most cases with a simple registry-based version number hack) and apply a simple registry patch (because the restore restores the old registry) to bring up the registry to be totally compliant with the new ROM.

Yeah, but this isn't exactly easy out of the box operations that the basic user can do, or wants to do, Menneisyys.
The one thing that has always amazed me about the computer indusrty is how much they thing like computer people. Don't forget that for most people, computers, whether handheld or otherwise are simply tools. Tools they want to use to simplify their lives and work days. Not something they have to hack to get it to do what they want, or spend hours having to re-setup after upgrading. It all needs to be quick, and easy..do it...get done....move on... no need to mess with it to get it to work properly. Ask the average user how to setup an email account and they will look at you blankly and tell you they haven't got a clue, they have a neighbor, friend or family member who does all that for them......IT HAS TO BE EASY!
