I just did that switch from 7.2 over to 7.4 this past weekend. It went very smoothly. The major things to watch for that I found in the history/release notes which were not very obvious were:
The one thing that I've run across in that upgrade path is with triggers. If you use:
Create or replace function trigger_foo()
returns opaque
...It's going to change the function to return a trigger.
If you subsequently use the create or replace syntax and don't change the return type to trigger (because you haven't updated your code), the back end will refuse to replace the function complaining of a mismatch in return types.
