To help deal with the "Patch Day Blues" (aka omg my ui dun wrk, hlp pls kthxby!), Slouken has posted about an upcoming improvement:
In the next big content patch, there will be some changes to help improve the UI mod upgrade process.
First, the game will automatically back up any old Interface/FrameXML directory to Interface/FrameXML.old, so the dialog telling you your interface files are out of date is no longer necessary.
Second, instead of automatically disabling addons, once you log into the game there will be a dialog asking whether you would like to try loading them anyway, or load the game with them disabled.
Third, either way you reply, you will get a reminder about the "addons" button so you can change your mind later if you run into problems or want to try loading out-of-date addons.
Thanks to everyone who has given feedback on the process. I know addon migration after a patch has been a real pain, and hopefully this will go a long way towards alleviating the problems.
