It kind of gives the impression that post-upgrade steps aren't really needed
unless one or more update releases have been skipped. Not sure of better
wording though.
This paragraph has been used as is for many releases. I guess people who have read it many times don't really think of it anymore. And I don't personally thought of it as you do. Maybe we could juste turn the last phrase upside down :
"Please see release notes for details on potential post-upgrade steps. Users who have skipped one or more update releases may need to run additional post-update steps."
Is it really any better?
Best,
Stéphane
