Regarding pulled posts, note that any user reaching level 2 status or above sees a "report this post" link below every post in Discussions. There are several radio buttons in the report form & a small space for an explanation of why someone is reporting the post to the moderators. There is a button for reporting duplicate posts, for ones that need to be moved to a different category, for ones with info like serial numbers that should not be made public, etc., as well as for reporting inappropriate content. It is still up to the moderators to decide what, if anything, to do about a reported post.
Anyway, I noticed a reference in your viewable posts to commenting out .sleep & .wakeup scripts & to SmartSleep. I don't know if you explained more about the relevance of either item in a now deleted post but it would be helpful to do so now. Anything that changes normal system level behavior is suspect since it might have unexpected consequences when installing an OS update, even if it is otherwise compatible with the updated OS.
Also, regarding your steps, note that it is generally a bad idea to mix OS component files from different OS versions, especially extension (kext) files. The component files of each version are designed to be used as a set. For example, they may contain internal references to other files that would be incorrect for another version's files, expect another file to perform some step or check the replacement does not do or does differently, & so on. Plus, installers do more than just replace component files. They contain scripts & pre- & post-flight steps that integrate them properly into the OS, which may include updating other files, "sanity checks" that determine what is safe to do, & other procedures that just manually replacing a component file will not do.
Regarding that, note that
Pacifist does not support running installer scripts. Although its author suggests it can be used as an alternative to the normal installer, this should be done only if there is a good reason to avoid running those scripts, & then anything necessary for normal operation they would normally do becomes the responsibility of the user to do manually. Also note that nowhere does the author suggest Pacifist should be used to mix components from different OS versions. It is primarily intended as a way to replace damaged or missing files from some package without having to reinstall the entire package, & includes tools to help with that. But using it to mix different version components, especially by manually installing them after extraction instead of using Pacifist's built-in install mechanism, is something that only expert users fully aware of the consequences should consider doing, & only for experimental or troubleshooting purposes. Doing it to "fix" some problem is almost certain to lead to more serious problems, if not immediately then when applying a future update.
Along the same lines, note that the author of
Kext Helper b7 provides little documentation & warns that you use it at your own risk. It is intended as a tool for those developing & testing their own extensions. If you are not, then the risk of damage to your system is high unless you know exactly what you (& it) are doing.
In short, if you hack the OS, it is no longer the OS Apple supplied to you so you should not expect it to work as Apple intended; before, after, or during an update.
