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".
