It is advised to do so because you may end up in a package conflict
and thereby incomplete upgradation. But I have seen people to manage
without a mess mostly, if they have not installed a lot of extra apps
from the base installation. If you end in problems, you may try to
update the corresponding packages (and its dependencies if necessary),
and complete your upgrade.

If you are still with the base install and nothing more, you need not
do anything to the repos. Generally upgradation process comments extra
repositories which you had added on your own before proceeding to the
upgrade.
