As you can see with small operations like VFT and MP, using a different version or platform is possible if you have no or little data to migrate. Imagine the howl if past data (or pstcunt) is distorted in any way Google hits would vanish quickly and traffic reduce.
It's all a sad reminder not to do too much customization to OTS software.

Apparently COdbaUA never learned this lesson, and neither did Ran Decisions when they ran FT.
