2 things I feel worth mentioning - well, 3;

I just performed a 5.2 --> 7b4 upgrading using the "cheat sheet" I
provided. All went w/o error/troubles. It (cheat sheet) has also
served me well many yrs. w/o issues.

I /did/ mention that the "cheat sheet" I provided was not a
replacement for /usr/src/UPDATING.

But you /strategically/ removed that part of the post.

Context is also lost.
