Well, this didn't go well, i f**ed-up my boot partition

How did you managed? it was just a matter of copy a file from one place to another. ?

… upgrade the bootloader …

… Probably not required every minor upgrade.

I should probably recommend it for any boot disk that might be used with multiple computers. Bear in mind, the range of computers that 13.0-RELEASE could not boot.

It's a list of issues that have been fixed in this release (compared to a 'plain' 13.0-RELEASE). It's not a list of issues that need to be fixed, the fixing was already done before the release (they've been commited to 13-STABLE when they were discovered).
