When you have only a few altered shadows its not so difficult. I don't know how many people are running what, have modified what, either directly themselves or via plugins. Its possible to have problems from prior changes you made on upgrade, though Jeremy & other developers are careful not to change anything so radically it would break the majority of the Shadow overrides. The "Shadow" mechanism is BRILLIANT software design. But tracking what you did when I think is getting complicated and is becoming an issue in a way it perhaps was not in the past? That's because of the richness of innovation & understanding of TW. But I don't see a congruent attention to MODIFICATION TRACKING so you can backtrack knowing what you are doing. I got, myself, into the habit of making manual notes when I modify shadows, add a plugin, add a big macro. I'd rather have an easier way to know what I did when.
