-The migration is currently broken. We have found a few serious bugs in
-the migration program and have been forced to disable it. Do not use
-any previously released versions of the migration tool. We are working
-on this problem and are putting a lot of effort in testing the new
-tool. We expect to release a fully functional tool soon and we'll send
-a message through the announcement mailing list as soon as a working
-tool becomes available. If you need to test the migration you must specify
-"debug" as a parameter to the migrate_from_1.2.sh script.

+<i> Disclaimer </i> <br> We have made extensive testing of the
+migration from BASE1.2 to BASE2. To our knowledge the migration works
+but we cannot guarantee perfect functionality. The migration tool is
+supplied as is and usage is done at your risk. We are commited to
+solve migration problems at the level of transfering data from BASE
+1.2 to 2.0.x, but cannot resolve data loss issues due to imperfect
+migration in a running BASE 2.0.x server. When you start the migration
+tool you are required to pass parameter "disclaimer_understood" to the
+migrate_from_1.2.sh script. Remember to check that the migration
+performed well before you decide to delete your 1.2 installation.
