Deleting the search path file was necessary because of a change in format;
it
doesn't matter if it's not deleted since the configuration  tool can write
over it.
Deleting the cache data was only necessary because some bugs were fixed
which affect the cache data. For production it is extremely unlikely that
deleting this data will be necessary unless there are changes to the format
of the files. If it's necessary some version information can always be
written.
