I assumed it was understood that I just meant wiping the files. I'll be more careful with my words in the future so I don't cause somebody to delete their blog. :) @Su, I understood the question, but I guess I wasn’t clear.

Yes, an upgrade is fine, in the sense that most of what's really important for an upgrade is actually in the database. What was being referred to was wiping the <em>app files</em>(rather than overwriting), and does still apply. It was in reference to <a href="http://bugs.movabletype.org/?103077" rel="nofollow">this bug</a> and was subsequently <a href="http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/installation/upgrade-movable-type.html#install-new-version" rel="nofollow">added</a> to Beau's new upgrade docs.
