While I agree that going to 9.0.latest makes the most sense, if this
is a sundowned system, and they just need to get on a supported
version for now, 8.2 is nearly a drop in replacement for 8.1. We went
from 8.1 to 8.2 to 8.3...  The transition to 8.2 involved upgrading
and testing, and we had zero compatibility issues.  8.3 as a bit more
work.  Anything after that's been cake.
