Hi John, Indeed *that* particular migration has been a long time ago. As I tried to explain, my idea was to generalize this to be able to message the user about important stuff that might happen at early startup. Migrating metadata was the initial example of such a thing. At the time I was imagining one day also it could be used to inform the user saved-reports-xyz be converted from the current scheme format to something else (json, xml, ...) or any other internal conversions we'd do on the metadata. However I don't really feel strongly about that nor about how I initially implemented it. I just mentioned it to check if there was common interest to have such a feature. And your remark also makes we wonder should we really keep the migration code itself as we are now firmly in the 5.x series which means we have already kept this around for 3 major release cycles ?
