 +  * #2 When executing fixServerPrincipleIDs script dev server can remain up (we tested). Is this true/advisable for production upgrade?
 +  * #3 If yes above, should we while production is up, consider running in batches (directory trees) or all at once?
 +  * #4 If answer is no, server must be down: when we apply the 7.2.88 upgrade (without fixServerPrincipleIDs script manually, this upgrade seems to automatically invoke it) script **and** upgrade take 19 hours (second attempt) versus script by itself only takes 20 hours (third attempt).  Why?
 +  * #5 Can we skip the hotfix upgrades after running the script and go directly to 7.2.88, then to 7.2.91?
