I would have expected the upgrade to install the appropriate components to not break things. In which case it would likely break things in other ways, or not do the right thing for some individuals. Making specific changes to a template of unknown content is fraught with peril.

I have a slightly modified version that removes the default Fcc stuff that was added some time ago and drives me crazy as I don't want that. So, yeah, that's the reason. I don't think there was ever a chance we could ever hope to modify user's components files in a sane manner. The default ones

Well, I agree that it's long, but this isn't a transient error, it's an upgrade issue and that's a place where at least one person (me) doesn't expect things to break. So giving explicit instructions seems OK to me even if they're long. Fair enough. Although technically the issue is more with
