That would be a downgrade (the tree was tagged in August; the gap between then and release is for testing, cd production, package building, etc). Downgrading might work, but it's not really supported, and you may get into a slight mess with shared libraries. Easier to stick with -current until 4.9 if you do that (or just stick with -current; I would suggest keeping an eye on at least plus48.html if not the source-changes list if running -current but it's not really difficult/scary).
