It's important to keep in mind that this is an upgrade path you 
carefully have to do. Check each new version for the requirements 
regarding PHP and MySQL versions. You will have to upgrade those too 
during the whole process when a new TYPO3 version doesn't support the 
PHP and MySQL version you have at that point.

Also make sure that you run the Upgrade Wizard in the Install Tool, do a 
Database Compare and read the INSTALL.txt, NEWS.txt and the upgrade 
guides in the wiki [1] for thing that need extra attention.

Extensions are a whole different story. It is very unlikely that a 
version of an extension will support such a huge range of core versions. 
You need to upgrade extensions too during the upgrade process. If older 
extensions use core API functions that are removed in a newer release 
the resulting fatal PHP errors will cause the backend to be unavailable 
(most likely a blank page if the PHP error isn't displayed by the 
webserver).

A nice challenge such an upgrade :-)
