You are quite free to update any code you want.  Barry just said that 2.6 
will help make the process easier. (At least it should for people who 
prefer incremental changes to doing it all at once.)   In any case, 2.5 and 
earlier code that does not depend on bugs later fixed should usually run 
unchanged in 2.6

None.
