Only test coverage.  We didn't run direct testing to 0.14.2 - we also
deliberately made the decision not to remove some older code that would
have broken 0.14 upgrades until the next major release.

It all depends on your risk tolerance - we didn't make any file format
changes to bitcask so your data should be safe.  If you wanted to try it, I
would take a backup of the ring directory in case you had to downgrade the
node again for any reason.

On the newly upgraded node you could run riak_core_capability:all(). on the
riak console, that would double-check that the settings matched the
required rolling upgrade settings, and make sure you do a diff of your
app.config/vm.args against the new package to check there aren't any
settings missing.
