The main thing that you are likely to trip over is the change in the
default format of slaved zones, from text to raw. named should move the
old files out of the way and retransfer the zones, and complain about it
in the log. You probably want to remove the old slave zone files, either
before upgrading (to avoid upsetting named) or afterwards (to keep things
tidy).
