The main pain problem because it's not a "one click" update is mainly
because the forum has quite a bit of custom code:
- So called "mods" that would need to get replaced (older phpBB mods
replaced files directly, but now there's a plugin structure)
- A whole swath of in house code, like Brainstorm etc. (in hindsight,
doing that much extra stuff on top wasn't the best idea, but again
hindsight is 20/20).
- The theme (which would need an overhaul anyway)
So upgrading is the "easy" step. Upgrading without too much breakage is
far harder.

In the past, it happened more than once. Aside very vibrant forums like
Krita's, I've personally poked people to answer in the forums (and they
did).
