I clarified and expanded the text that you're referring to.

If you point 0.7[.x.x] at a 0.6.9 database (and earlier) it will upgrade it automatically, though always take a database 
backup first in came something goes wrong, of course.

The harder part is the configuration file changes.  Copying them across from 0.6.9 can result in strange errors - it's 
much better to use the new examples and move any changes you've made manually.
