Hmm. I think this is a mistake. Updating from anything other than 3.4 to 4.0-R is going to be a windy path fraught with landmines because we just can't keep testing every possible upgrade scenario, and people are going to lose limbs by following instructions which no longer work. AFAIK, we've never claimed to support upgrades to major (.0) releases from anything other than the most recent previous release, and with good reason. We have an upgrade path which is well tested and works, so let's just leave it at that.
