First, I would absolutely suggest a fresh install. Life is easier, and
the install process is fairly quick and painless.
We just did a datacenter migration project (which I'll detail in an
upcoming blog post). We were running, for a number of reasons, 6.1, 7
and 8 concurrently. When we first looked at moving to 7 we loaded a test
system with our codebase for testing. In our massive (4k+ template)
system, the only changes we had to make were removing cfbreak tags from
cfswitch/cfcase statements (where they weren't necessary to begin with),
and some minor refactoring for the use of ExpandPath() in conjunction
with cfmapping variables. The transition to 8 didn't require any code
changes whatsoever, although we did replace all image.cfc and zip.cfc
processing with the built in cf image handling and cfzip tags.
(Side Note: Although cfbreak was unnecessary in cfswitch/cfcase
statements, the break; statement is still necessary in switch/case
blocks within cfscript.)
