Will the new release of WordPress 2.5 cause your site problems? It could very well be possible, pending on the plugins that your site is currently using.

It would seem there are a number of plugins that are not ready to handle WordPress 2.5

The following plugins are currently not working or causing issues with WordPress 2.5

• Absolute Comments 1.0: Comment management screen has changed, so it no longer has anywhere to hook into.
• Access Keys 0.6: Access keys on categories no longer work.
• Advanced Category Excluder 1.1 - doesn’t support feeds for tags / tag feeds empty
