No, the installer should not add any such text. It's just silly. Additionally,
when user has already started the installer, it's surely too late to tell "Oh,
you had that strange idea that we kept requirement to uninstall previous
version top secret, and had uninstalled it? Too bad, you needed not to do
that".

We only must have full requirements on our download page, and various wikis. No
need to list infinite list of what is not required. Only if we miss something
really required, should we actually add that. By the way, if uninstalling a
previous version manually were required, our installer would detect that and
stop, telling you to do so.
