If you use the same arguments to configure as used for 3.9 (or your 
package system has), then the new can just be installed over the
old.

Review the CHANGES file for changes to rancid.conf (and are labeled as
rancid.conf changes), which will not be overwritten or merged by the
install process.

LMK if you identify specfic confusion about the upgrading document.  At
a glance, I do see that it needs some improvement and expunging of really
old version information.
