Seth's change that requires people to delete their mozregistry needs to be handled in the beta automatically. It's too much to expect that everyone will know and remember this step since we weren't able to do it even internally very well. The profile manager needs to put a version string inside the mozregistry.dat file and compare against that version. If it's not there or it's too old, then some action must be taken to bring the registry back up to current. In the case of this change, the best thing would be to read in the old values, convert them, then write them out again.
