If you can just deploy the new version everywhere and reboot the network, that 
would be the best. The 1.9.0 branch (and all future versions) are not 
experimental and will support the new, *definitive* version of the 
source-specific extension.

If you remove source-specific routes during migration, you will be able to 
deploy the new version progressively. Otherwise, you cannot deploy the new 
version progressively without the risk to have loops, although we could write a 
*temporary hack* for this if needed.

Hope it helps, cheers,
Matthieu
