The reason I'm not keen on this is that 0.9.7 is missing security fixes and will never receive another refresh. So it's certainly not recommended anymore for 2.0 or 2.2, nevermind 'the next' release. I don't think we need to go out of our way to break it, but if there are tests for 0.9.7'ness (or 0.9.8-initial) we won't need those tests anymore.
