How to about some option to return the forum to stock version without loosing data. Or have restore points as in Windows to keep a back up option within the forum script ?

Upgrade version is like a reset as well right?

Depends how you use it.
If you just upload everything over the existing files, any addon/other stuff that for a reason or the other you uploaded will remain there.
If you delete sources and themes and then re-upload, this will look more like a "reset" and anything extraneous will be removed.
The database is of course something completely different, because there may be:
unneeded tables,
unneeded columns,
* unneeded settings (including permissions).
In this case the upgrade doesn't do anything at all.
Then how/what to do depends on exactly what result you want to obtain.

Yep, good point IchBin.
In other words it would mean deprecate code edits before being able to introduce it.
For the 1.x line it would be impossible in order not to break every addon.
In 2.0 could be not so unrealistic, but still a little tricky.
