Just rip the band-aid off and go straight for 1.6.0.9. Do not stop at
1.6.0.6 if this is taking public SIP traffic. Also, FC10 is out. You

Read the release notes, crank up the verbose on the console, and let
it rip. Some things will break, some things will be fine, and several
things are dramatically better than they used to be in 1.4.
