I was wondering about the best way to upgrade a operational site to the latest version. Is there a need to copy the new config directory? I thing the only files that would be steped on with a copy would be in the config directory

I'd set up a new environment with a stock install of the latest version, and then start moving things over piece by piece, putting out fires along the way

Typically it should only involve replacing your system folder, and possibly some small code changes. I think most people wouldn't need a full test environment, but if you have a high-traffic site, or some hardcore extended classes, it couldn't hurt.
