That's the point where MVCC is needed, at least for critical 
applications and large databases: each db has to be tested carefully
on the new server before moving to production and downtimes have 
to be minmal. An single-version system cannot provide this.

I'm doing this by assigning multiple sockets to the server (one 
per DB) and so migrating the DB's one by one w/o having to touch
the clients.
