Upgrading within a major release, while not trivial, is really not hard 
either as long as *you follow the instructions*.  The handbook has the 
howto.  However, I would still take backups of the system directories 
before upgrading (/ /usr probably /var).  The shortened version can be 
found in /usr/src/UPDATING.
