No, as an 8.0.x is mean to be for minor changes/fixes/improvements ... 'addressing a patnt conflict', at least in ARC's case, is a major change, which is why we are looking at a short dev cycle for 8.1 ...
Then we better make sure that 8.0 -> 8.1 does not require dump&reload. However unlikely we judge the patent problem to actually bite people, we cannot force 8.0.x users into a dump&reload upgrade by not providing a backport when it happens.
There was some mention of an upgrade tool which would avoid the need for a dump/restore - did that idea die?
cheers
