The administrator by hand, or would this be automated in some manner? Also, if this is expected to be done by hand: it's possible for somebody to forget doing the conversion when upgrading to 11. Would there be any notices announcing that the old format is deprecated and would go away by 12? I'm having in mind a failure case where you upgrade from 11 to 12 and things break because you forgot to rebuild the database with 11 (which is the release that allows you to do the conversion). -- Julio Merino / @jmmv
