I'd rather not say it like that, though, because then you get questions like
"How do we know when to manually update?" :-)

We've added new default constants such as keys and salts (there are eight in
all) over the years, so that's one thing to check. (We also highly
publicized those when we released the versions they were first included in.)

Beyond that, there have been no real changes. It's still just the DB
constants, language, table prefix, and the conditional ABSPATH define (which
is actually only there for backwards compatibility).

In 3.0, we also added a reference to WP_DEBUG, simply to raise its profile
among plugin developers. There are also scores of other optional constants
that control other deeper aspects of WordPress such as moving the
wp-content, uploads or plugins directories or various cookie constants.

If you installed your blog before 2.6 or so, I'd check to see if you ever
added the salt and key constants. Otherwise, just upgrade everything around
it.
