I think emphasizing that this is a binary upgrade and *only* works to overwrite your current sage directory to an exact copy of a fresh binary build would be sufficient. Note that doing the rsync (to a copy of your current sage directory) is no different than downloading the binary and untarring it, but presumably it is quite a bit faster and requires less bandwidth. If someone borks their install and can't figure out how to fix it, this also might be an easy way to "start fresh".
