There may be issues with python which jumps to python-2.4.1, and many (most) of the python modules are now options which by default are turned OFF (e.g, Berkeley database, dbm, curses, bzip2, xmo, tkinter, locale, and ssl). Postgresql also has a major release upgrade to 8.0.3 from 7.4.5 so any databases should probably be dumped before doing the upgrade.
