I think the migration is not too tough, as we did these migration steps
in Seam examples included in Seam distribution. The painful is JSF 2
component libraries like Richfaces 3.3->4.x migration or Icefaces 1.x ->
3.x. And the latter is not really prepared Seam 2.3 as it is described
in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-5022, which is regression from
Icefaces 1.6.

I think that I am trying to say in section 4.2.2

<blockquote>
Depending on what JSF components that you use like Richfaces or
Icefaces, there may be some differences when upgrading from JSF 1.x to
JSF 2.x. You may need to upgrade libraries entirely. Consult any
component framework documentation on those changes. This migration
doesn't cover these migration steps.
</blockquote>

I will change
"You may need to upgrade libraries entirely."
to
"You have to need to upgrade libraries entirely."

If you think we need enhance this paragraph more, I am open to
suggestion ;-).
