What do you mean by this statement?  1.8 should just read your 1.6
data file and it should be fine.  If it doesn't read your 1.6 data
file then that is a bug that needs to be corrected.

It *IS* true that it's hard to go back to 1.6 once you start using
1.8.  But 1.8 should 100% read 1.6's data file.
