I tried that with 4.9 to 5.2.1-Release, just fine. 
Read /usr/src/UPDATING*, there is a point about this. But then, 
updating to current, I shot my box ;(

Now I have 4.9 again, nothing missing.

The safe way is backing up your moveable data and do a fresh 
installation, then recovering your data again.

Regards,

Thorsten
