See the mentioned URL. There are some steps to be taken in order to upgrade from
3.23 to 4.0 (4.0 will work on a 3.23 database without those, but not all
features are available). The most notable is the one give in the Summary. Of
course, it is arguable, if all those steps should be automatic, and I would
surely be fine with only printing a message that the user has to run the steps
(maybe cite the mentioned URL).

But I think if neither is done, there will be a lot of questions coming back why
certain features of 4.0 do not work after upgrading.
