Taek, can you elaborate on this statement?:

"There is a hard fork coming and you need to have upgraded before it happens. You will not lose coins as long as you avoid using a wallet that you already backed up."

Should users be deleting all old backups prior to 0.3.3.3? Not making this clear could have disastrous results. Many people here are used to being able to use their original wallet.dat backup indefinitely. It may be my  inner dummy talking but that statement is extremely confusing.

Also, I agree with the others who have stated that better instructions (specifics that even a dummy can understand) need to be included in a readme with each release. For example, not once have I read that you need to backup your backup.wallet file. Many people will just backup the wallet.dat. And guess what? They will be absolutely pissed when they find out that it will not restore their wallet. Everyone should be backing up the entire wallet folder and this should be in huge bold letters somewhere in the official information.

I am not trying to rail on you, I am just trying to offer some constructive criticism.
