If the only server application is Cyrus then you might as well export the
cyrus databases, make a clean install and then restore and import the
cyrus databases.

On the other hand, I just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.3, and the
Cyrus/Postfix/Amavis/saslauthd combination was upgraded perfectly.

/etc/cyrus.conf
/etc/imapd.conf
/etc/sasl2/
/etc/pam.d/* (common*, login, imap, sieve, smtp)
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
/var/lib/imap    (where the databases are)
/var/lib/sieve   (where the compiled sieve scripts are stored)
/var/spool/imap  (where the actual mailboxes are)
/usr/lib/sasl2/  (cyrus sasl libs for authentication mechanisms)

I think it is easier to update the installation.
