I run a number of community sites based on Drupal as well.
We're still mired in 4.6 & 4.7 for the simple fact that I haven't yet found a solution for "reformatting" event listings orginally done with Flexinode into the new CCK.
They're dropping Flexinode with 4.7 so this kind of transfer is important -- especially since for one site at least, I've got thousands of events.
So this is a problem.
It's funny how they said they were investing so much time in improving the usability of Drupal with version 5. They can have all the usability in the world and it won't matter if there's no upgrade path to ensure data integrity from one version to the other.
