Most changes are backward-compatible.  As long as you are not messing
with low-level stuff, chances are that things will just work.  Of those
changes that are not backward-compatible, convert-ly will deal with a
reasonable number, but of course the converted files will then _require_
the new version.  So better keep an unconverted copy somewhere in case
you need to go back.
