Yeah, migration is something we will fully nail down before we go into
product. The project has been moving too fast and we still have a lot
of features to get in this year.
That being said, I did read some of your email history. I don't think
you should expect migration to work with snapshots from master or from
betas and alphas though. I know I've changed the data model multiple
times in master prior to doing a release.
