However we can't upgrade the applications in it on behalf of its users because it would mean overwriting any change you'd have made to existing pages that are in the default XAR. Thus we let you do some part of admin work and it's your charge to upgrade your wiki.

That only depends on your strategy and there are lots of valid strategies. See http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/ To guillaume: why is this guide not linked yet?
