 My biggest concern here is the impact on add-on developers incurred by
 introducing a new migration requirement that fights against the merits
 of the ZODB.  So I'm strongly opposed to developing a migration
 infrastructure that requires add-on developers to not only make the
 necessary updates to their Zope/Plone code but also to integrate with
 and maintain support for the new migration infrastructure.

 I also think there's significant risk in defining an export/import
 format island.  There seems to be noise out in the CMS world about
 import/export/interchange formats.  Now surely these discussions will
 be lengthy and won't come to fruition any time soon, but I do think
 effort might be better placed in participating in those discussions.
 In particular, I'm worried about introducing a content import/export
 infrastructure that developers and integrators would start investing
 in that might subsequently be replaced by something that is less of an
 island.
