Things change very quickly around here ;-)  What I'd like to see on UserBase 
is 

An indication of preparation recommended - anything left from older versions, 
for instance, that might cause migration to stall

Some indication of possible problems and how to recover from them

Advice about the use of IMAP and dIMAP - I for one am utterly confused by the

We need authorative advice - there's too much risk in relying on my 
understanding of bits I've read to advise users.
