But in the 1.6->1.7 upgrade people had to go through all working copies
managed by unmanned daemons and manually upgrade all of them.

Another option is not to make format upgrades mandatory --- just like
svn 1.7 can write to format-1 FSFS filesystems. I don't recall what we
want to bump the format in 1.8 for so I can't tell how realistic that is.
