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