Is the "moveBatch.php" script in the maintinence folder the best way to move bunches of files into a new namespace?
Also, I noticed the [-i <interval>] option with "moveBatch.php". -- Is there anything functionaly dangerous about running the script wide-open [interval = 0]? -- and what would be a reason someone would want to slow it down? -- just to monitor it by eye?

It's a decent way.

There's no technical reason to use it.
