We know all the "drill" of migrating a site:

  • Put your site on maintenance.
  • Backup your database and code
  • Disable all your modules (do this with 50+ modules)
  • Update your core and modules code
  • run update.php
  • check for errors in update screen
  • activate a module
  • run update.php
  • check for errors in update screen
  • repeat last 3 actions until you have migrated all modules

And then we are not talking about migrating buddylist to friendlist or views 1.x to views 2.x.
