No, just a tool to automagically migrate your schema to the new Quill 
7.x version.

I cannot see any reason why the following wouldn't work:
  - Install Condor v7.x.
  - Install v6.8 quill daemon over the 7.0 quill daemon.  Don't bother 
to run the v7.x dbmsd.
  - Install the v6.8 condor_q and condor_history tools over their v7.0 
brethren (if you want to keep the ability of these tools to query 
postgresql directly).

The only thing you'd miss out on w/ the above setup is any new 
functionality added into newer versions of the condor_q and 
condor_history tools.  But I think the above recipe would all work fine 
together, and allow you to keep the old schema and still enjoy all the 
improvements in most of Condor v7.x.
