Ah hah!
So we could have upgraded the old clients to the newest patch level PRIOR
to doing the 3.4 upgrade. I don't think I would have done that unless
there was a REASON that I needed to leave my old clients at 3.2. If I'm
going to upgrade them to 3.2 patch level X, I might as well upgrade them to
3.4. It's just as easy.
