Sounds like a good idea to me - I'm currently upgrading a machine
from 2.2.2 to 3.4, and could have done with concise instructions.
If we can make it as clear as possible it will really help when we
have to go back to 3.x/4.x later (in the 6.x days :)

I moved loads of machines from 2.x to 3.x last year, but can I remember
how?  A decent UPDATING would really help.  I've had to do
2.2.2->2.2.5->2.2.8->3.4.
