After the trim we have a couple of options. 1) Trim the unused chunks and regen the world with the old/current seed, or 2) trim and regen the world with a brand new seed. Which may lead to cliffs, or swamps, or anything really. It all depends on the seed.

I have so many questions.

After we do the trim of our 1.8 world, we still have some sort of underlying data that wouldn't allow chests and goodies to respawn. So, with 1.9 bringing tons of underground Strongholds, if we keep the same seed will the underground mixup make keeping the same seed worthwhile?

If we wipe out the unused chunks and then go with a new seed we'll get some 'cliffs of Jeb', obviously, but is a new seed random or picked by an overlord? I wouldn't want that job.

Apparently we can run 2 seeds in tandem, so we won't have to give up all the work done in the Nether. I would like to explore the idea of wiping the End with the new seed though. Rebuilding the XP trap out 500 blocks or so is a cinch.

So it goes.
