You might have changed the configuration, you don't want to lose those changes.
See FAQ 4.5.1 ,,,,, Upgrade: Install a new set of install files on this machine, but do not overwrite any configuration information, user data, or additional programs. No disk formatting is done, nor are the /etc or /var directories overwritten. A few important notes: See FAQ 4.7 ...... The etc53.tgz and xetc53.tgz sets are not installed as part of an upgrade, only as part of a complete install, so any customizations you make will not be lost. You will have to update your /etc, /dev and /var directories manually. It's been this way for a long time.
