4.6 to 5.2 was a *much* bigger update. 4.8.9 catalogs should just
run -- I have updated dozens of them and had this happen.
There will be some little things to make the UI work with it, but
the customer-facing side should just move. You might eventually
want to migrate in the changes to the etc/log_transaction and
etc/*profiles* stuff.
The only incompatibilities we have seen have been in the area
of product options -- if you created your own modular SKUs (instead
of using the ones suggested by the UI) then you can see some
discrepancies.
