I'm planning to upgrade a 4.7 box to 4.8.
Yes. As I understand it, however, you can still not build some of them,
which would be useful if you're not using that service. For example:
many people won't be using BIND on their box. Some people use bash, or
korn shells and therefore csh/tcsh are redundant.
Hope that helps,
