What I'm curious about if it's the *full* OS looking for a Leopard install. I'd prefer that as I'd rather not go from a .5 to .6 via an upgrade.
And though I'd probably want to do an Archive and Install, I'd settle for Nuke n Pave, as long as I didn't have to *upgrade* the installed OS.
The Puma update disc that was given away free was a full installer that only checked for an existing installation of Cheetah, and could even be hacked to be a stand-alone installer of its own.
I'm pretty sure Snow Leopard will include an option for a clean-slate install for those of us who prefer to start over with each major version change. Its space savings comes not only from stripping PPC code and code compression, but also from smart printer driver installation. I don't see why they would deny all the benefits from those who are "upgrading."
