Most of the time it isn't. I have been testing the upgrade dev with
Oxygen.2. However you may run into problems. The last one I can
remember was running JUnit plug-in tests. The tests ran, but the JUnit
view did not contain any output and I had some exceptions. I think
this was due to the protocol changing in a non forward compatible way,
but I am not sure, it may have been different Milestones, not even
releases.
AFAIK the Eclipse Platform team upgrade on a nearly daily basis.
