I upgraded to WP 2.3, did not disable all plugins as I said "Haha, it's my site, hoho, let's just do it!" and I messed up my then-theme completely as files and theme-databases got overwritten and corrupted, respectively. I still have not been able to recover the then-original theme changes and modifications code. I hate the fact that after de-activating, WP does not keep a list of all de-activated plugins so that you can know which ones to enable, but it is better in the long run also. I think one of the best things to do is to upgrade and test things on a local server instead of the public site. I started doing it again after Ronald suggested it and it really helps.

Luckily, in the last minute I thought to follow the recommendations and disable the plugins before upgrading. I was about to do what you are speaking about, Ronald.

The worst is upgrading WordPress without following the "recommended practice" of disabling plugins and then everything going wrong. :) I can definitely relate.
