All it takes is to find one pair of blocks that collide, and you can build infinitely many pairs of same-size colliding files.

<nitpick>
Since there are only finitely many possibly files of a given size, there are also only finitely many possible pairs of files of that size.
Since the number of collisions is at most the number of pairs, that means there are only finitely many collisions of a files of that given size.

For new installs, I agree with you.
However, the GP was talking about upgrades. I would definitely prefer a small patch to a complete reinstall if I already had the previous version installed.
So I would guess the best solution would be to provide both a patch and a complete new build.

I know like 5 people in my entire building.

So do I. Of course, that would be my family, me being one of them. Oh, that and nobody else lives in our house.

On: Comet Machholz Now Visible to Naked Eye

From the same article: "It should be visible to the unaided eye until late January..."

I think what they meant was it will be visible to the naked eye, but if you look at it through binoculars it will be fuzzy compared to the stars.
