Perhaps that wasn't such a good choice in retrospect. I'm willing to take a look at putting some special migrations in, but honestly given the changes in Nova alone between Essex and Folsom making a full jump from something like Essex to Havana is going to be challenging not just for adding Cinder, but overall. I know it's not ideal but right now the best/preferred solution may in fact be to do incremental updates as intended. Going forward maybe we can come up with something better. > 2) Migrating from nova-network to neutron > > It'd be great if we could pool efforts to figure out an effective way of > handling these migrations.
