I'd say, if you have code that ran under 7.6 or older, the most likely migration path would be to 8.0 where you can easily switch back to compat mode of 7.6 (or older). At which point you'll be doing your porting efforts and at which point you have full access to all the historical notes/clutter of the elder versions.
8.1 and onward drops compat support with 7.6 and older. Thus is an unlikely initial target when porting code to newer versions. The notes I deleted where mostly notes that *added* functionality. The only notes I kept where those that discussed incompatibilities. But still, I'd say someone which has code of <=7.6, will most likely port to 8.0 first.
