Any reason why I should be wary of migrating my legacy firewall rules now I'm on 26.7

I meant to do it before I upgraded but like an idiot I forgot

No? Just go ahead and do it. It's not rocket science.

I'm confused by the GUI interface(s). I also forgot to migrate before the upgrade. Now I make an export and import the CSV. But how to identify the legacy rules? I don't see any difference and don't see which are the legacy ones and which are the new ones and which should be removed... :/
Could an automated migration be created which does the conversion and removes the legacy rules? Or at least disables them?

If any of your legacy rules were not migrated, you would see them in the new interface, but with no edit button (pencil icon) etc. - like the automatically generated rules.

If you're satisfied that all of your rules have been migrated, the wizard should have a step that you can invoke to delete the legacy ones, which completes the migration process.

I added a "new" to the description in the CSV as to identify the new rules. Then used the legacy plugin to delete the legacy rules. All is well now...
