[Chandler-dev] Automatic migration landed in r15715

[Aparna Kadakia]

Andre,
We haven't particularly focused on manual migration workflows because  
we want to improve our upgrade process to a more automatic one in the  
future.

We have a couple of bugs filed for enhancing the upgrade in upcoming  
releases:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11448
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603

Check those out and feel free to comment on those bugs.

Thanks,
Aparna
