Folks wishing to migrate from SL are going to continue to have problems. Especially as we move to 1.3. SL is so fundamentally broken that we have no choice but to break compatibility of upgrades to make the software work correctly.I am also in the IT biz (even write Perl for a living), but I'd rather spend my Perl hacking time on something else. After a very cursory (and unsuccessful) attempt at getting my existing SL installation migrated to LMB, I've just been lurking here, watching other user's attempts and waiting for some success stories before I give it another go.
Hopefully we can get some more developers to get involved to help write some migration scripts. If we don't then people will still have some significant problems as our priorities are elsewhere.
