[wix-users] Question regarding ICE61

[Kaveesh Dashora]

Thanks Rob,

Doing this makes the warning go away. However, I am still not sure as
to why this was added.

I was going through the documentation for MajorUpgrades
https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/updates/major_upgrade.html

This does not talk about adding an additional Upgrade element to the
Product.wxs.
WIll it be safe if I remove these lines?
