I understand that you did expect it to. But I don't think you SHOULD 
expect it to. Otherwise the mysql / mariadb developers would never be 
able to change anything.

Expecting users to use the right horse for the right course doesn't seem 
completely unreasonable to me.

Good luck getting developers to care, given the use case.

Presumably you aren't going to do this very often? Do you really need a 
script for a one-off operation? (I am assuming a transfer from old 
version to new is a one-off -- the fact you are trying to cross a 
version gap suggests you don't do this every day)

Anyway you know your environment better than I do, just a thought.
