9 True, but wouldn't any further improvement in migration be essentially
10 fixing the barn doors after the horses have left? What percentage of
11 our users are still running baselayout-1 now? The fact that things
12 have gone fairly smoothly suggests to me that further investment in
13 migration code isn't going to yield much benefit. I'd just leave it
14 all alone for a few months or whatever to let people finish migrating
15 and then start triggering deprecation warnings. In fact, there is no
16 reason to not generate deprecation warnings now - when openrc
17 migration is still fresh in everybody's minds.
