I don't think there's any debate over that by anyone but people who treat our
badly written manual as a set of rules and don't actually read what it says.

Upgrades should be done by extracting to a new folder. This issue actually
wouldn't have been fixed by doing that (though it would have been easier to
figure out what was wrong) but extracting over top of your install is just plan
bad planning. If something goes wrong it's not going to be easy to undo what
you did and return to your backup. And you can inadvertently erase any
modifications you've made.
