Yes.  And you will die.

Seriously: I think we are still in a transitional phase.  It does seem 
though that most people coming to the language now start out 1.9ish. 
Applications which are around for a while are likely to still use 1.8 
(or even 1.8.6).

Currently I'd say if robustness is your main concern that is probably 
the best choice.  And I guess that will be true for a while (maybe a 
year or so) although my crystal ball rolled away yesterday so please 
take it with a grain of salt. :-)

Kind regards
