The tables migrate just fine, but you can update them to the newer
terms (like directmedia instead of canreinvite).  Not all of the
configuration options are found in the contributed SQL table
definitions, and columns that aren't recognized are ignored (nice for
a comment, etc).

As far as pitfalls, there have been a few deadlock issues for SIP with
Realtime.  Most that I have run into have been resolved, but check out
issue 18818 if you use any local channels (there is a patch, but the
issue hasn't been assigned yet).

I don't think realtime has as wide as an audience, so the issues are a
little slower to get resolved in SVN / releases.  Those that use it
are pretty active in helping confirm issues and testing patches
though.
