Honestly EB I believe you can simply turn off the megajoin feature
globally (in folders | default properties) and accomplish the same
thing. Then you can keep the history you have in your databases since
ver 8.x uses a different structure than 7.x does.
Your method works but may be more effort (perhaps simply needless loss
of history) then is needed.
I was actually in on the later stages of testing ver 8 and I believe
ver 8 is essentially the same as 7 with the exception of megajoin.
Forte was trying to improve Agent for binary downloaders and megajoin
was their answer.
Hard telling at this point if they plan on a new version any time soon
or not.
