[Zope3-dev] Would anyone mind having to toss their Zope 3 database?

I have valuable data in a Zope 3 database. However, I'm quite happy to 
write my own application-specific migration script when I'm ready to 
move the application to a more current Zope 3 codebase.

I would very much appreciate a migration script for any zodb-level 
changes, such as a move to zodb 3, or a change in pickle format. I think 
that you are not talking about this kind of change, though.
