I ask about the sequentiality because long ago there was an issue in updating (I think it was moving from 3.x to 4.x, but I could be wrong) where you had there was one version which was a swap over and which was needed before you go on to the latest versions.
The std method for flashing new roms is to go back to the shipped rom. Some people say stock rom but you should note they are not the same. In any case this the recommended. Apparently there are residual filed/settings that can be left over from previous flashes... When the chefs test their roms they do so from the shipped rom (presumably). That way they are always starting from the same base. Therefore this should be the logical starting point for anyone flashing to a new rom.

It sort of makes sense to me - but i usually dont do it UNLESS i get unpredictable behavior on my device.

Cheers,
