Well, you have and have always had just two options the minute we pull
the elf kernel switch: You switch customers to the 3-stage boot by
dropping a /boot.conf file into place which calls /boot/loader (which
you also install along with the 3.0 upgrade) or you relabel them so
they look just like freshly installed 3.0.x systems; it's your choice
whether you want to go for minimal impact or minimal difference.
