Exactly.

I know about this ability... But still preferred to use 1.8 binaries. If
anyone is interested and I have time, could try to do the load with 1.9
binaries into 1.8 repository.

At the moment I'm loading 1.8 repo into 1.9 one via dump|load. I'll look if
starting parallel dump|load would be Ok for hardware, if not I'll start it
after this one completes.

That's true... Well, dump & load from 1.9 to 1.8 took ~14.5 hours so some
combinations can be tested.
