I wouldn't use make upgrade on a production server at all, to be
honest.  I'd back up the user files and reinstall, or install onto a
2nd box, migrate the files, then switch over.  This is how I do all
production boxes.  The upgrade target is by no means guaranteed to do
anything more than turn a production box into hash.
