we arent talking migrations that are forced onto everyone. we're talking
about new code that users have to *opt in* for ("new net") that is only
available in unstable. expecting everything in testing to be documented up
front is unreasonable. no one is saying the stuff shouldnt be documented,
just that complete user friendly coverage is not a requirement for unstable.
your comments here dont really apply to bleeding edge -- they certainly apply
to stable though.
this code doesnt even really appear to be documented upstream [1], so it seems
only Roy knows the magic sauce atm.
