Upgrade to WordPress

I looked at my WordPress dashboard yesterday, and noticed that there was a feed item mentioning that WordPress 2.0 has been released. Almost immediately I went to the WordPress site, and looked for upgrade instructions. I found four steps that seemed very complicated, but after a few moments it only looked a little difficult. Is it really worth going to the difficulty of downloading a backup (which convieniently can be made with cPanel) and uploading the update and attempting to install it?
