Our understanding is that it is a migration, not an upgrade, and that to
perform it you will need your BB on one installation, plus an additional
set of hardware onto which you jump through some hoops to do a 6 install
with some utility to migrate your stuff across.
so, we're leaving it, just for now ;-)

The myth that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to
lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores
the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led
them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.
