    I think that it has something to do with the security of your blog.

    You only really need to take wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php .

    Even if I'm still at 2.61?
    Or does that only work for those on 2.63?

    I you're at version 2.6.1 and the current release is 2.6.5 then you're behind and only upgrading those files will not give you all of the fixed between 2.6.1-2.6.5. Could even mess up your WordPress. You might as well just upgrade all files.

    Remember guys, before making any upgrade of your blogs ALWAYS do a backup of the database, if you run any auto-upgrade plugin a database backup its really important, because bad things happens.

    I would recommend to you this plugin:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/

    Or just go to your hosting cPanel and use the Backup wizzard to make a full backup of your site.
