[wp-hackers] Upgrade instructions fatally flawed for Mac

[Andy Staines]

As I said above - it effects anyone who may (unlikely perhaps but not  
impossible) be using OSX Server. Forget FTP -  it is irrelevant. A  
folder replace on OSX (server of otherwise) replaces ALL contents.  
Same for people like me running an Apache server on my iMac. And  
users may not be aware that they are being hosted on OSX...
