Right, that is exactly what I was referring to. 9.0-RELEASE is one of
those as far as I know.

It is ambiguous as to if that means being upgraded from or to and the
error message given does not indicate what is being upgraded from is
not supported, so I am a bit confused on if this is to be expected or
not.
