In the best-case scenario, they'll have to run update.php as with most
other MediaWiki updates, and it'll update everything for them. I don't know
of any reason that shouldn't be the case.
We may also increase the version requirement, so if they're still on PG 8.3
they might have to upgrade that too.
Will they be able to recover their website after
disaster
from a backup with the old layout?
They'd likely be able to repeat whatever had to be done to upgrade the
first time around.
