Seems fine to me, as long as we continue to target the last stable
version as the source to migrate from.  I just don't want to get into a
situation where we have to write migration routines from, say, 2.91.4 to
2.91.5 and then 2.91.5 to 2.91.6 and then 2.91.6 to 2.91.90 just because
we changed our minds about something during a single development cycle.

A little bit of breakage between development releases is acceptable as
long as the upgrade path from 2.32 to 3.0 is clean.
