Comment (by Starcrasher):

 If I'm not wrong, full-sync won't change repositories used.\\
 So you will only change up release when using nightlies.\\
 If you're using beta1 repos, you should stay with beta1.\\

 But, yes having a notification that a new version is available and a piece
 of software that would help you to migrate would be welcome.
 It would need to
  * check your packages to warn you if something is no more available like
 i.e Qupzilla was in Beta1 won't be in Beta2. So you can abort or prepare
 your data for migration.
  * offer to backup personal files. (Not necessary but a good habit to do
 it from time to time)
  * change repos for you and launch the sync
