For me, it was less of a problem having two systems, both with T1  
boards and removable
drive bays.

Even with that, I still had things I needed to change.  For example (from the
UPGRADE.txt) The applications Cut, Sort, DBGet, DBPut, SetCIDNum,  
SetCIDName, SetRDNIS,
AbsoluteTimeout, DigitTimeout, ResponseTimeout, SetLanguage,  
GetGroupCount, and
GetGroupMatchCount were all deprecated in version 1.2, and therefore  
have been removed in
this version.  You should use the equivalent dialplan  function in  
places where you have
previously used one of these applications.

I was using most of these.  They still worked in 1.2 but I would get  
warnings about them
being deprecated.  In 1.4 they are gone and have been replaced with  
new syntax.
