Re-read what he stated- it'll convert all existing NEW bugs to 
CONFIRMED upon migration.  There's a fair number of bugs that are in a 
NEW state, decent number that have sat for a long while too.  Those 
bugs aren't 'confirmed'- just like with the new work flow where the 
dev flips it from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED, leave it to devs to flip 
the current bugs from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED rather than just 
marking everything as CONFIRMED.
