Matt and I have upgraded a number of sites with good results.  Just
make sure you are upgrading from 2.1 or later releases.  If you're
upgrading from something older the upgrade will bomb.  Fixing that is
on the to-do.

Category related plugins will likely break horribly.   The UTW
importer should work, but I haven't tested it too much lately.

Upgrade doesn't delete the categories, link2cat, or post2cat tables,
so you can always fall back.
