  Remove documented limitation that we somehow can't upgrade from 1.0-1.5
  working copies in these releases.

  With the pre-WCNG working copies we updated them on writing, so you could
  even have specific subdirs with an older or newer version without higher
  layers noticing.

  In several cases 1.9 can better upgrade these old working copies than
  1.7-1.8, as our test suite's validations added shortly before releasing 1.9
  showed some limitations in the correctness of the older upgrade code.
