Do we agree in the target db schema?
That's the important point.
We haven't thought about it in detail. But it would be a fairly large
change and require changes throughout the software, as well as
possibly elsewhere in the schema.
Migrating a large site like commons is 'just'
an operations issue.
Making it readonly a bit wouldn't be a big issue, but could also for
instance move to an intermediate point, where uploads are stored in both
formats, while read only in the old one, while a script is moving
records. Finally, flip the switch and drop the old tables.
Sure, it can be dealt with. It's just that it'd be an epic upgrade :)
