We seem to do this on every upgrade, but in fact it's only useful for
upgrades from 1.9 to 1.10 or later, right?  It would be better to do
this only when it is useful or at least note in the script why we are
doing it so we can remember to remove it later on.

Otherwise it seems reasonable.  Thank you!
