The last time I tried this, It was a weekend long deal due to the application replication not coming online in an HA environment. Took TAC over 12 hours to figure out that the passwords weren't synced in all tables and had to root and run sql updates to resolve it. Customer had changed passwords previously and when we did the upgrade, it came out to show it's head. For whatever reason, the application was replicating before the upgrade attempt, but after we booted up on SU4, platform replication was fine, just application was not.
Was a fun weekend. We haven't scheduled a time to try again, waiting on the customer for it.
