Upgrade drupal to 4.7

I upgraded the site from Drupal 4.6 to 4.7 today. The process is fairly detail intensive and took me 5 hours to complete (AFAIK). Here's how I did it..

1. Create new drupal database
2. Backup old database to file
3. Restore new database with backup file (essentially I just copied the database)
4. Unpack the drupal distro into a subfolder of the existing site (from here forward site means the new distro folder location)
5. Modify the site prefs to point to new database.
6. Run the upgrade scripts.
7. See if site works at all.
8. Site sort of worked but was missing all block content and side menus. I had to manually go to admin/block and then hit save for stuff to start appearing.
9. Time doing upgrade so far: 40 minutes.
10. Now comes the horrible part.. manually upgrading all modules.
11. Download each module and enable them one at a time and test. This took a long time and I had the most problems with content filters and images. Not really anything too difficult, just tedious to find every thing I configured previously.

So far I like 4.7.. it has some UI level enhancements (for the content creator) that make a lot of sense. Hopefully the drupal folks can stabilize the interface for modules so that they don't break every dot release!
