If you were previously on 8.99.x then you were tracking -current and
not any particular release.  IMHO you should now track the 9.99.x
series, as that is the new -current!

If you intend to deploy a stable 9.0 release (rather than tracking
-current) I would recommend installing 9.0-BETA to help us make the
release as "solid" as possible.
