In addition it could just start the upgrade, and if the total time of
upgrade is less than 10 seconds it would wait until that time gets
up and then replace the old database with the new one.
But very informative and verbose messages of how safe the interruption
of database is would be in order...
Some ideas to bikeshed with:
"The database upgrade is done in a new database; at the end of the updrade
the current database is replaced with the new one -- Interrupting updrade
(with Ctrl-C) leaves you with the current database."
