I'm curious how you were going to 'run the import again' to pick up
the 3.8.4 data, especially considering the numerous schema changes.

You can't just somehow apply the new data in your 3.8.4 database to
your 4.0.1 database and rerun part of the upgrader.

You'll need to document your upgrade process and run it in one
