5.x to 6.x source update, bootblocks?

Hi all,

Here's a quicky...

I've been running around upgrading some boxes to 6.2 from 4.11 using the 
directions in UPDATING.  I noticed that in the 4.x to 5.x step it's 
basically mandatory to install the new bootloader:

cd /sys/boot
make STRIP= install

I see no such notes in the 5.x to 6.x guide.

Should I repeat this process?  I figure having the latest bootloader 
should not cause problems, correct?

Thanks,

Charles
