At the risk of sounding like a broken record: introducing a new
command for upgrading Eglot has the same problem as the original one:
users of Emacs 29 will need to use a different procedure for upgrading
Eglot than they used before.  So it doesn't solve any problems, only
introduces new ones.

It's a mistake that should be fixed while we still can.

It was deprecated the minute it was introduced.
