It seems that since the move was made away from vCenter server running on top of a Windows box and towards a standalone appliance (.ova import) the thinking is that the server is becoming like a disposable piece, like a switch or router with firmware. Export settings, then install new appliance, import settings to new configured appliance, delete old. Am I wrong about this? When does the case for upgrading a vCenter server come up where it is preferable to upgrade than just replace?
