The 8.0.1 dumps will probably use some features that can't be used by
7.4. So you will likely need to pass the 8.0.1 dumps through a preprocessor
before reloading. Note that you can use the 8.0.1 dump program against
a 7.4 server and check for what kinds of problems there will be before
you update to 8.0.1.
