Re-enabled add-on back-up during upgrade... but set it to "off" by default

I understand what the team tried to tackle with removing option to back-up add-on when upgrading… but the approach being to remove the option is too radical.

Can’t we simply keep this great functionality but simply “switch off” the option by default. Up to the user to consciously toggle the switch to create a back-up before upgrade?
This was really great feature which helped a lot the user community.

so, I figured out this is still possible, via the add-on screen itself.
The way to proceed is to not upgrade via the general notification, but upgrade from the “info” menu of the add-on itself.
Enjoy.
