I've always had a problem with this verbiage too. You are told about other manual validation checks, but from what I could see, there was nothing really spelled out. It is completely vague and in my opinion nothing more than a CYA message.

I believe this is a standard warning that has been added to every upgrade and just means read the docs before upgrading and isn't actually running any checks.
I've had it on every upgrade since 8.3.1RC1

Yes. But checks are being run, no errors are reported and than the message appears before asking if you want to continue.

If it is boiler plate, what manual checks need to be run other than the ones you would perform prior to starting the upgrade. Confusing place to put the message at the end of the pre-upgrade automatic checking.
