I'd agree with Nolan's assessment and suggest that a pre-flight check for overrides in etc should be done to compare against files in playbooks/inventory on upgrade.

If any files are the same: halt, inform of duplicated files, allow operator to clean them up as desired (either delete or modify files in etc).

A second step in the pre-flight check would be to calculate the overrides and enumerate them so the operator has visibility into what deltas are applied in their environment.

Both of these seem to be candidates for pre-flights which apply in all future upgrades, as they are useful protections against OSA changes to default inventory in the future.
