There are a small number of known interoperability issues between 1.8.3 clients 
and 2.0.0 servers that were found during release testing, and while some of 
them were fixed for the final 2.0.0 release there are a couple of issues that 
also needed changes appearing in the 1.8.4 client.

I assume you are already aware that 1.8.x clients cannot use Kerberos 
authentication in any form, so in that regard 1.8.x is not compatible with 2.0 
if you require Kerberos auth.

I'd have to dig a bit to recall what the 1.8.3 <-> 2.0.0 interoperabilty issues 
were, but they were fairly minor (e.g. one was an issue with early replies from 
adaptive timeouts, which I think was fixed in the 2.0.0 server) and it can't 
hurt to do some testing in your environment.
