use case

manually

People willing to share their testing experience with installing Thunderbird 3.xB on top of their current 2.x installation.

automatically

People get the choice to upgrade from 2.x to 3.x, via the autoupdate mechanism. People will have the choice. Before this option is offered however the manual upgrade path needs to be tested by a few brave souls (the more the merrier)
