It's not required on Ubuntu Xenial (having been replaced by systemd)

script: Add static asset pipeline option to support OS upgrades.
...
The comment explains this in more detail, but basically one previously
needed the `--from-git` option to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` if one had
last installed/upgraded from Git, and not that option otherwise, which
would have forced us to make the OS upgrade documentation much more
complicated than it needed to be.

One longstanding gap in our production documentation is how to

installed.

Ideally, we'd get a few folks to test this procedure over the next few
days to make sure it's bulletproof.

c87893feea
docs: Update .html links to .md.
...
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
