As I said, it was only "afaik".  So, I guess I was partially wrong.
Anyway, there should be no need for any manual migration with future
releases.

But still, some may not have migrated any files on their own, and the
new procedure makes sure that those are migrated as well (even if this
late in the game).  I.e. this is what makes it a lot more complicated:
we needed to find what was not resubmitted or migrated by that other
script, and migrate it now.

Just to note that it was again Carlos who did most of the work: I was
mainly there to help take the load off him for other Rosetta tasks,
and to bring him cookies while he was working. :)
