I already knew what files to not override... my biggest error was not 
backing up first... second was not checking the directories individually 
vs. just blind extracting the full zip file over the top.

I wasn't *that* worried about it, as all my modifications were in source 
control, and I hadn't really customized the configuration.  I did forget 
to update the VERT callout line though.

I do apologize for assuming you were being snarky in your statement... 
based on another comment you made, it wasn't a huge leap.  I'm also a 
bit on edge and stressed out all things considered.
