That would not work in my environment, since OpenVAS does not even start 
up completely as of a database version mismatch (see logfile entries 
below). In addition, if that would not be the case, there would be no 
users since users are maintained in the database in OpenVAS 7, but are 
maintained in the directory structure in OpenVAS 6.

        md   main:CRITICAL:2014-10-13 13h57.05 utc:3778: main: database is 
wrong version
