Usually it would be useful to also list your environment settings of
your server including PHP/MySQL versions and if PHP is running as CGI.
This is pretty much standard in any bug report so I don't see why
anyone would do so differently here.

As did mine but not all of us are that lucky.

Well the theory is that you would do the upgrade immediately after you
upload the files. I do see your point though and maybe it would be a
possibly useful feature to have a 'freeze' upon uploading new core
files until the database is upgraded.
