Judging from the surrounding comments, I'd say yes, but I'm quite
prepared for someone who's more familiar with the lab setup to correct

format has been updated in the past, other than the (somewhat belated)
bump to 8.

My only possible minor nitpick would be that I'd prefer the .* in the
source version matching expression to be .+, but that is being somewhat
picky; feel free to ignore it. :)
