We'll do what we can to make it as painless as possible - but on the other hand the thing about major releases (2.0, 3.0, 4.0) is that a lot has changed between them, so you need to go into it with your eyes open (i.e. read the release notes!) to make sure you don't get bit by one of them. I wouldn't worry about it - the difference between 3.x and 4.0 won't be nearly as big as between 2.x and 3.0 (which diverged for several years before 3.0-RELEASE came around), and most people survived that epochal event without major hassles. The best thing to do when that day rolls around next year is to wait a few weeks, watch what problems others run into, and then proceed cautiously yourself.
