There is more tripping involved with doing a 3.x -> 4.0 source upgrade. Seems to be an endless discussion about upgrading from source and AFAICR is much more toublesome than the 2.x - 3.0 with aout -> elf. Can't see it for a production environment. Rather swap a disk or server. Less pain, problems, and much easier to keep downtime at a minimum in the event something doesn't work out right.
