Yes that is an important note to remember with auto installers. I do think that Fantastico prewarns you before the upgrade to only proceed if you haven't installed any mods but the databases are left intact.
You have 2 options from there on in. You either do the upgrade and reinstall the modifications. Or you can do a manual upgrade following the software owners instructions and preserve certain files to preserve your upgrades.
