Here's a thought, and call me crazy if you want.... include the delete 
files step in the codex directions.... then as a caveat to that 
direction, include a link to another Codex page that asks and answers 
the question "Q: Why am I told to delete my files." A: Because it has 
been our experince over the last few years that FTP clients are not 
always reliable in actualy overwriting files and some may retain their 
old code. ... etc..."

Just a thought... Could also be x-referenced with the Upgrade FAQ (if 
there is one.)
