kbahey CreditAttribution: kbahey commentedFor what its worth, I upgraded a site from 4.4.2 to 4.6.3 a few days ago. It was a circa Sept 2003 release of Drupal.
Of course I did it first on a test install with the old data and old version.
I had to go incrementally and see where it fails, and go create them manually (or add columns, or insert roles, ...etc.), and continue. It took some time but was successful in the end.

chx CreditAttribution: chx commentedIt's a go. You know why? Because you can't jump versions anyways. It just won't work. So, we need to keep updates for one version only IMO.

sepeck CreditAttribution: sepeck commentedIf that is so and we do, then we will need to make sure that packages for the major core releases are available and that we provide a nice set of instructions for people on the update.php page regarding this.

drummYeah, the best thing to do is make an error message that says "it seems you haven't upgraded since drupal 4.4. you are going to have to download 4.5 now."
