No objection from me.

If I recall correctly from previous updates, we've unpacked in a 
directory that includes the version in the name and then used a symbolic 
link to switch over to the new installation.  That should make it easy 
to go back to the previous installation if there are any issues.

Note also that we have some add-ons installed.  Updating those and 
tweaking the config file to use them has always been the most difficult 
and time consuming part of upgrading.
