In short, yes.

Technically, GWTP 0.7 should work with GWT 2.3 - GWTP migration wiki doesn't mention this explicitly.
Practically, GWTP 0.7 is built against GWT 2.4 - see "gwt.version" definition in [http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/source/browse/pom.xml?name=gwtp-0.7]

Step 5 is not compatible with GWT 2.3. It represents a bugfix that is shipped in GWT 2.4.
Steps 4 and 5 are optional (cleanup-like), but should be done in long-term.

Fully agreed.

can these be backward compatible with gwt 2.3?

is this 2.3 compatible?
is it a must step or optional?

6. test thoroughly webadmin and user portal behave correctly...
