Missing step in upgrade instructions for 2.0

The codex instuctions at

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Upgrading_WordPress#Step_8:_Upload_the_new_files

have a step missing, which we might call 8.5:

8.5: download the file wp-config-sample.php and fill in the appropriate information for your database name, location, password, etc. The info you need will be in your old wp-config.php file, which you backed up. Then save the file as wp-config.php and upload it again.

I figured this out successfully, but it’s completely absent from the instructions.
