Reasonable.

No, it is worth a try.

Can't hurt, but may not help.  But there are enough new features in 3.1 that
I can recommend the upgrade just on that basis alone.

It will take some work if you want to upgrade in place, but is not a big deal.
A fresh install would be of course trivial.  It will seem like a walk in the
park on a nice day compared to the php upgrade! (I upgrade Horde/IMP all
the time, but the php 4.2.x upgrade scares me so much I've not even tried
it and am staying at 4.1.x).

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
