Well, the easiest way of answering this question was if you told us when the update-script was changed to work with the current situation. This is probably a matter of reading the commit history / file dates? If 3 month old scripts won't work then we should fix it. If 1 year old scripts will still work then its okay to forget about the older scripts...
