Personally I don't have a problem with there being some manual steps as 
long as they are clearly documented as it was for 2.x -> 3.x (a full 
migration) and 3.0 -> 3.1 (an in place upgrade).  I have had good 
experiences with both of these.

I think that this is just a combination of no documentation and 
significant changes having introduced significant breakage.  In my 
personal opinion 3.2 is just too broken to use.  This isn't just 
upgrades.  There seems to be significant breakage on clean installs as 
well.
