Yes, I'm sure it does.  But the instructions only tell you to *run* it
if you're doing an in-place upgrade.  

I wasn't.  I was trying to do a parallel install, so I could test it
and be able to back out if I screwed something up, as I noted.  So I
was using the "fresh install" instructions, and they don't mention it,
for oblivious raisins.  ;-)
