Currently I happily use (bbdb-version)"BBDB version 3.1.2" to store
anniversaries which appear in my agenda with (org-version)"8.3.3".
BTW I use `org-bbdb-anniversaries-future'. See section "Anniversaries
from BBDB" in the info documentation (info "(org) Weekly/daily agenda").
Best regards,

That's strange: I just updated to 8.3.4 and o-b-a-f is present.

The latter:
anniversary: 1900-01-01 birthday
1901-01-11 wedding

Yes:
,----
| org-bbdb-anniversaries-future is an autoloaded compiled Lisp function
| in ‘../org-mode/lisp/org-bbdb.el’.
|
| (org-bbdb-anniversaries-future &optional N)
|
| Return list of anniversaries for today and the next n-1 days (default n=7).
`----
I don't use ELPA so I may be completely wrong, but I thought ELPA
packages the maint branch, not the master branch. I think o-b-a-f
only exists in master, so it will appear in org-9.x

I don't think o-b-a-f by itself is sufficient reason to upgrade :-)
I'm not going to say anything new or profound here, but it's worth
reiterating:
- if you depend on current org for "production" (with deadlines and
deliverables that cannot be compromised), then you should probably
leave your work machine alone. If you want to test, you should probably
install master on a different machine (if you don't have a different
physical machine, a VM will do fine) and test carefully before
upgrading your work machine.
- if you can afford some breakage in your workflows and can either debug
the failures or provide detailed information (backtraces, profiles
etc) about them, I think the devs would appreciate that, but any
testing you can do is probably worthwhile.
- That said, I think master is very stable, but there are backward
incompatibilities in various places (check ORG-NEWS for details
and the mailing list for breakage reports to see if they would affect
you). The sooner you start getting ready, the smoother the transition
will be.

I don't want to discourage you from such experimentation, but I think
this is something to be avoided in general: you have a frankenstein
installation that cannot be easily up- or down-graded to fix problems
and any problems you encounter will have to be passed through a filter
to figure out whether they arise from your specific installation method
or whether they apply to org in general. IOW, it is less useful both to
you (except for getting o-b-a-f, I guess) and to the developers than
either straight maint or straight master.
