Very likely you will end up shooting yourself in the foot big time.
Perhaps not as badly as you wood with OpenLinux 2.3 where the Berkeley
database routines were in glibc, but there are still a ton of programs that
use these routines which are quite likely to get severe heartburn (not the
least of which is rpm).

I would be very careful doing anything before digging into the
documentation to be sure that I understand what trouble I might be getting
myself into by upgrading.

Hint for the answer: not everything is computer-oriented. Sometimes you're
in a sleeping bag, camping out.
