Will File Vault need to be disabled during an OS update?

I have file vault activated on my ibook. When I upgrade to 10.3.9 or Tiger, whichever comes first, should I disable File Vault?

    I've had FileVault on for a while through several updates (through 10.3.8 ) and never had an issue. All FileVault really affects is your Home directory (makes it an encrypted disk image instead of a folder). Non of the System files are encrypted. And if you are doing a clean install then it's a moot point anyway.
