Try it and let us know :-).  But to reassure you somewhat: the various 
extensions will generally install themselves quietly under lib/site-packages
and even win32all, which tweaks the registry a bit, shouldn't be disturbed
by having a maintenance release installed over top.

Nevertheless, I think the various licenses and such say you're entirely
on your own as far as possible damage to your computer and I'm not 
going to provide a better guarantee than that. :-)
