[OM Cooker] [om-qa] OpenMandrivaLx 3.0 Acceptance Meeting

Based on what I've seen I further edited wiki to remove the listed 
update steps as I'm well positive they don't work. Did this to avoid 
upset disappointed users. Currently Release Notes state:


    Upgrading from previous OpenMandriva Lx Releases

*Currently for 3.0 a fresh install is recommended*. There is an update 
script in development. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I had hoped someone more knowledgeable about upgrade process would 
address this prior to release, hope I haven't offended anyone or done 
something horribly wrong. Just seems beyond dumb to have upgrade steps 
in Release Notes that no one has gotten to work.
