The new install will be not a problem. It did give me the upgrade options in "upgrade" it did show a migration from 2.0.14/2.0.15 /2.0.16 so I figure all was good
After installing 2.0.17 the mods in the Admin are acting up. The pop ups are now hiding the mod icons and the close link does not work. I tested in Firefox and Opera. However, my 2.0.16 install works fine.
