Sorry Michael I double-mail, but I apparently missed the "reply to list"

Aye, there's a lot of "files"...

Once the upgrade has passed db schema upgrades it should be perfectly safe to 
use it, after which just a bunch of tidying up is done.

What's the latest log output? If it's done with the "urlhash" fields, I think 
you're safe to run the instance with the new code.

Also, old data is stored in the same tables that get converted. So it's not a 
case of "can I run without access to old data?", though in some cases that can 
be the practical consequence. However it's more likely that stuff just won't 
work all that well ;) (the likelihood of working well is however larger when 
the core and plugin schemas are done)
