First, you shouldn't be using 2.0a1 for production use. ;)

Of course.  The way we usually do this is to:

  - Install the new version,

  - Copy products, extensions and the var directory

  - Adjust the PCGI resource file or web server to point to
    the new site.

I suspect that a better way to do this would be to keep the 
instance home separate ffrom software home so that copying would 
not be be necessary.  In that scenario, you would simply run the 
new installation pointing it at your (installation-independent)
software home.
