Hi Mark,
While u r correct about serving dbs regardless version as thats what
we do on some of our repos now, there are benefits to upgrading so I
disagree with you.
A repo we had in 1.2.3 was 50GB at the time. We converted to 1.4 and
it shrank to 38GB.
So yes, we do need to convert.
With offices in geographically diverse regions, the leaner and meaner
our dbs are, the better.
