If deemed not necessary to fix an issue with an older version, I needed the version because of a migration bug with truffle and geth 1.8.1 which was solved in truffle 4.0.7 yesterday.

trufflesuite/truffle#721 (comment)

So I guess this can be closed?

If Geth 1.8.1 builds correctly, then I guess there's not much to do. We won't backport fixes. Thanks for the followup!

[Jagdish0886]
