If you did a clean-install of 5.3-release, then it is in your
past.  But if you are running 5.2, and then you cvsup'ed your
/usr/src tree to 5.3, then the switch would be in your future.
You would be running a 5.2.1 system, and reading UPDATING to
find out what tricks were needed to do a source-upgrade to 5.3.

I admit this could have been worded a bit more clearly, but when
that was written I was thinking only of people who were doing
source upgrades.
