Comment (by esmi):

 >esmi, isn't it correct that the people that come to the forums are the
 ones with the problems so it is hard to estimate what percentage it is
 from the overall upgrades?
 Absolutely! But some of these users are actually reading the readme.html
 file (hooray!) and trying to carry out massive 7-version upgrades in a
 single step. And failing catastrophically Why would a note that points to
 the relevant Codex page be such a big problem?.
