But that is not within a major-number release. 8.0 is still not released
and from a compatibility view should still be considered as -CURRENT, and
9.0-CURRENT is, well, -CURRENT. In -CURRENT non-compatible changes do
happen from time to time, and is often not mentioned in UPDATING, because
people running -CURRENT are not supposed to need such reminders.
