I don't foresee us bothering with that. We will only be trying to
upgrade installations that got to 9.1 legitimately.
I should also make clear that I intend to start out all the contrib
modules at version 1.0. *NOT* 9.1. These things are going to get
version number bumps only when the contents of their install scripts
change, not whenever the surrounding database changes version. If we
number them at 9.1 to start with, it will just promote confusion.
