The guides already say to to an upgrade before even running this script and the way this works right now it just hangs for a long time without any feedback for sometimes 10-20 minutes. This is I think not a very good UX. See this issue on more reasoning: adafruit#174 The default nature of upgrading all the system packages is I think a bit too many changes than one would expect from installing a python package.

I was wondering why the script does a full system upgrade?
I'm not sure if thats so clear for the users that this happens, this is a process that can potentially take hours and will touch huge parts of the system.
This can have really detrimental affects on a setup, I think this should at least be question if the user wants to do this or not instead of just doing it and forcing yes on every upgrade without the user seeing what happens.
If the intention was to upgrade to a newer Raspbian maybe instead have a check for the kernel version and only suggest a upgrade or re-install if its a very old version that can't be supported any more?
