Thanks, I didn't know that existed, that's very useful.

I think this could definitely be useful in the wizard. The wizard could
store the current Emacs version used to generate the configuration, then
use that stored value as a base for this command in order to show all
new options that a user can now cutomise. The wizard could also compare
the current Emacs version to this stored version and display a button
(with large, friendly letters of course) to trigger this command.
