We've been suggesting "base last" in the upgrade instructions since

It's been "double checked" for a number of releases over a number of
years now.
Please...don't invent new processes, enhance existing ones. We got 20

un-tar baseXX.tgz last" so things like this aren't as big of changes,
and add version specific stuff as needed.
