What are the side effects or "gotchas" of raising the forest level from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003?

We are ready to raise or forest level. The domain is at Windows Server 2003. Are there any gotchas to worry about? For instance, when we raised the domain level, we were concerned that our then-current "Default Domain Policy" might be overwritten with the Windows 2003 defaults, such as Password Complexity Requirements. That didn't happen, but that's the kind of thing we are concerned about.

Thanks,
David
