Are we looking at the same page? It mentions running update.php in "Basic
overview" and in "Run the update script".

We don't mention MysqlUpdater.php or anything since we already mention
update.php.  Checking MysqlUpdater.php and release notes is useful when people
want zero downtime and want to run the changes before updating the code (even
then one must be careful not to upgrade more than one version at once unless
they know what they are doing). This area could be documented better, though it
mostly applies to large sites like WMF and Wikia. As a side note, for avoiding
downtime for small wikis, one could also check out the new code to a new
directory but with the same LocalSettings and run update.php there (assuming
the upgrade is only up by one version). It would be nice for these tricks to be
documented in the UPGRADE file or mw.org.

In any case none of what I mentioned is specific to job queue changes at all
and nor was anything. It sounds like something for wikitech-l.
