We always recommend updating Fink before updating the OS (which I
believe we mention in the news item), since older Finks cannot be
guaranteed to handle changes introduced by new OS versions, e.g. the X11
detection.

The commands listed are "safe", but "fink reinstall fink" will probably
not work at all for you if you're not using a fink which knows about
Mountain Lion.  You'll need to follow the instructions from the section
of the news item which starts with "If you updated the OS first, and
have an earlier version of fink which doesn't know about Mountain Lion,
you have probably found that it doesn't work."
