I'm not Xwiki developer and cannot answer directly your question, but based
on my own experience the following would be a good idea:
Somehow record all changes that you make to skins, config, other static
resources.
While there are certain means to migrate db content to newer Xwiki versions,
other changes are up to you.
Having a list of those may save you lots of your time. At leas you will know
what and where to reapply.

Subject: [xwiki-users] XWiki upgrades path?
Hi, XWiki team,
It seems to me that upgrading the XWiki version on XWiki farm is very hard
to do since it is not done for quite some time. Is this an indicator that
maintaining an XWiki server with live sites is not easy?
Is there a path for site managers to move up to the next version XWiki? Or,
is there a way for users to get to the new version or get around the
problems of the old version? Not everyday everyone is starting from a clean
new version, everyone has to face the upgrading time. If XWiki farm sites
have to stay in old, old version, I guess moving up is really difficult. It
does not look good to potential new users.
Thanks for thinking about this issue.
