Since Legacy 8 does not lose any user data I do not know why you think there are more changes needed. The only way data would be "lost" in Legacy 8 would be if the user edits the vital event notes to remove the Event Description: text of the description line(s) from those notes and then it would be their removal of that text not Legacy which deletes the data.
