ABSOLUTELY!

This is really the easiest way. I ended up doing this during the 3.0
upgrade. When I was done I was convinced that this was the way to move
up a major release for those who don't like pain.

Being stubborn and curious like I am, I ignored my previously gained
wisdom during the 4.0 upgrade. Some people never learn! :)
