[Typo3] Upgrading to TYPO3 3.8.0 and 3.7.1

[Anoop Atre]

I am weighing the reasons to upgrade my Typo3 installation from 3.7.0, 
and would like to include this in the Wiki. I have actually come to the 
decision to upgrade to 3.8.0 (after reading changelogs and debating with 
myself, I think since my installation is still in development and 
supports one institution the move is easier for me) but I think a better 
analysis would help others.

If someone has written a nice intro (or have ideas) to help users to 
decide if they should upgrade or not please post since I'm not sure if 
I'm analyzing correctly!

---------------------------
Should I move to 3.7.1 OR 3.8.0 (or should I just stay with < 3.7.1)

Main reason you can argue to NOT upgrade is if you have secured your 
current installation and are satisfied with the current 
performance/capabilities.

These are reasons I came up with to upgrade (not sure if I'm correct):
