Major upgrade best practices?
When creating a major upgrade, the helpfile says:
To add a major upgrade item:
1. Open the Upgrades view.
2. In the Prepare Setup For Upgrade Scenarios explorer, right-click Upgrade Windows Installer Setup and click Add Major Upgrade Item.
So, from v1->v2 I add a major upgrade. What should I do from v2->v3? Add a new major upgrade? Change the one I already had?

You should be able to modify the minimum or maximum product versions of the existing upgrade item as long as the upgrade codes are the same on v1, v2, and v3. A new upgrade item should only be necessary if the upgrade code was changed at some point.
