It might be, but it isn't the way I tried. I upgraded in the way I have 
always done. First I got the reindexing for 5 hours and then when I 
decided to upgrade the other DC (which held all the FSMO roles), I 
couldn't transfer the FSMO roles to the upgraded DC and when I tried to 
seize them to the DC instead, this failed. I then tried to remove any 
tombstoned records on the upgraded DC, after 90 minutes, I gave up and 
tried on the other, un-upgraded, DC and they were removed almost instantly.

Something went seriously wrong during the upgrade, so I remove the 
upgraded DC, renamed and rejoined it, I now appear to have a fully 
working DC, but time will tell.
