Is doing just the first stable release of each new version ok, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.0 > 4.9.0?
Or better doing the last release, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.1 > 4.9.0?
Or be safe and do every single one, like from 4.7.2 > 4.8.0 > 4.8.1 > 4.9.0?
My guess would be to do the last one of each. Not all that much difference for this site but I have some older ones that will need to go through several more.
I think its generally best practice to upgrade to each major release, followed by its last patch release.
However in your case, 4.7.2 -> 4.8.1 -> 4.9.0 should be fine. 4.8.1 has a small DB upgrade, so you don't want to skip that one. Just take note to any special instructions on each release (even the skipped ones).
Upgrade BP: step through first versions or last?
Or every single one?
