i upgraded my main server from 1.6.2_STABLE to 3.0_STABLE, remotely,
without any issues.  the thing which took me most time (apart from
automatically building all the packages in a pkg_comp chroot) was
postfix configuration migration, but even that took less than an hour.

just make sure you carefuly fix things with postinstall and properly
merged local configuration with etcupdate.
