Only supported way (i.e., devs and I won't laugh at you when you complain about the results) is to wipe and reload. Recover your configuration files from your backups and/or your installation notes, this will test them in a casual setting, rather than an emergency, which will be your next opportunity to test. Really, if you have good backups and good notes (or good understanding of the products you are using), this should not be difficult at all. If it is difficult, you have problems far bigger than -current. This is a wonderful time to fix those problems. Nick.
