No, there are no changes that would prevent this from working.  The 
mailing lists can be migrated in this fashion (or by copying the 
.list files over).  Note however that you will have to use the PUTALL 
command instead of the PUT command if you're storing subscriber data 
as well as the mailing list's configuration.  (PUTALL otherwise works 
just the same as PUT.  I believe this distinction was added so that 
accidentally issuing a PUT command with text below the configuration 
wouldn't destroy the list of subscribers.)

At some point LISTSERV started keeping track of some additional 
information, such as subscription date; I forget if that started in 
1.8d or 1.8e.  However, storing subscriber data that doesn't include 
this information shouldn't cause any problems for LISTSERV 14.4 
(although it will of course be unable to retrieve this extra 
information for such imported subscribers).
