Isn't this pretty much exactly the situation LiveUpgrade is for? I've
not used it -- we can typically get sufficient downtime to do upgrades
every couple of years and for the 8>10 move we'll be making lots of
other changes so LU probably won't be suitable -- but the docs certainly
suggest that it could handle this well.
