I'm be with you that the config has to be changed or at minimum controlled
first but if a restart will fails (case 1) than it will fails at the next
reboot too (case 2) and i don't see any reason why case 1 is so much more
important as case 2.

And still again i suggest to take a look at other distros where daemons get
restarted without a problem during a upgrade procedure. Sorry, but i find
this rule of "don't restart during the upgrade" a little bit academically.-)

Absoulutely +1 and i say only my opinion about the same thing.

See you, Attila
