I might be able to give some views on this question in a couple of weeks. I 
have a couple of small lists running on 1.62 currently.  I've just gotten 1.90 
compiled on a different machine and I'm getting ready to do some testing and 
converting.  I'll try to keep track of what changes I find necessary and let 
the majordomo-users list know the results.

I did notice a note in the 1.90 README file about converting from previous 
versions, but all it says is that resend has very few command line arguments 
and that you should strip the arguments, else they'll conflict with what's in 
the config file.  (i.e. the command line args will override the commented 
defaults in the config file, leading to what might appear to be unexpected 
results)
