I just upgraded and everything on the frontend works fine. There were some issues with 
the admin but nothing that couldn't be fixed. For example the orderline status page 
wasn't functioning properly so I just used the page from 4.8.7. All I did to upgrade was 
to backup ic completely (catalogs + source + settings) and used the rpm upgrade 
option. I did have to remove the history scan usertag from the old catalog.cfg files. No 
other problems, so far. How ever you do this just make sure you backup your current 
information.
