Referencing CHANGES is a good idea.  As far as if this will work
consistently, we now have made a commitment to our users that this upgrade
process will work across minor versions.  Major version changes are a
different story.  I tried to include enough conditional language to
indicate that people still need to be careful, just in case something is
missed.

Third party modules don't need to be upgraded since the module API is
fixed across minor versions.  I tried to cover this by saying "all your
modules will continue to work".  Do I need to be more specific?
