Using packages compiled for 7.0-RELEASE in 8-CURRENT

Hi all,

I'm having a confusion about installing packages compiled in 7.0-RELEASE
in 8.0-CURRENT. I've 2 boxen, a 7.0-RELEASE-p5 and a 8-CURRENT. The
7.0-RELEASE-p5 is fully updated as of now, and has all updated ports
available in the form of binary packages. Now, I'm wondering if it is
okay to install those binary packages on my 8-CURRENT box. Has anyone
tried this ? And what kind of issues you experienced. Issues to
dependencies on libraries in base install, hmm...?

Thanks in advance,
Ashish
