Manual steps to upgrade Keycloak

Hi, all

I'm wondering why these instructions are posted in order to upgrade Keycloak instead of just providing a script that could make this transition seamless:

Keycloak 17.0.1-2 update requires manual reconfiguration (Fri, 25 Mar 2022 14:25:57 +0000)
    The keycloak package prior to version 17.0.1-2 was running with WildFly   
    server. Since upstream officially moved to Quarkus distribution, Arch   
    Linux follows this approach. This means some manual intervention is   
    required for the upgrade. The configuration needs to be adjusted from   
    the old .xml format to the new /etc/keycloak/keycloak.conf. Prior to the   
    upgrade, stop the keycloak service, upgrade the package and migrate the   
    configuration before starting: systemctl stop keycloak.service pacman   
    -Syu keycloak # migrate configuration /etc/keycloak/keycloak.conf   
    systemctl start keycloak.service See Keycloak migration docs and   
    Keycloak Quarkus server docs

Re: Manual steps to upgrade Keycloak

Because, as the instruction clearly says:

The configuration needs to be adjusted from the old .xml format to the new /etc/keycloak/keycloak.conf.

and

Prior to the upgrade, stop the keycloak service
