We will continue to include automated upgrades for subsequent releases of 3.3 - so you should be able to upgrade your site easily over the course of the release cycle.
Comments
Is 3.3 compatible with Drupal 7 by chance? The installation instructions only talk about 3.2 with Drupal 6.
If D7 is not compatible right now, will it be in the near future?
We hope to have initial releases of 4.0 in the first quarter of 2011
I have been looking at the demo of the new version. Where do I see the new database logging? When I click Change Log on a contact, it shows the date of the change and user name of the changer, but not what changed. This is how it always worked. Am I looking in the wrong place?
We have a couple of reports for logging where we display the change log. Also check:

Just can't find this piece of info.... which Drupal 6.x ( 19 or 20) was being tested with CiviCRM 3.3.1?
It should be compatible with ALL 6.x releases - if you have reason to think it isn't that is a bug
