Scott,
I wouldn't think this would be the case with 8.0 since this version
contains the filesystem changes that 7.2 does, which is why there were
problems upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 as opposed to doing a fresh install.
They made a few changes in the 7.2 version to where some things were
located in the file system which made upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2
difficult, of not impossible.
