Is this not a reference to the help pages? Depending on how the upgrade was 
done, it's possible that the inquirer has a Wiki without various underlay 
pages which then have to be installed separately in 1.9 as page packages from 
the SystemPagesSetup page.

Similarly, any custom theme would go away if the upgrade was more like a fresh 
install and a migration of the old data. But I'm just guessing here.
