It is going to depend on the services you run, etc.

Depends on your services, etc.  7.1 to 7.3 shouldn't be a big deal.
7.x to 8.x has some things to watch for (wu-ftp -> vsftp, apache 1.x
to apache 2.x come to mind) which can cause upgrade problems for you
if you use those services.

For me, it is more of a customization issue than a technical issue.  I've
got lots of custom software that I need to keep intact.
