You're convoluting your experience with the technical facts in this particular case. It's futile to go into an argument like that.

I'm not convoluting anything.  IIUC, someone created this thread when he found that he can not enable or disable firewall rules after an upgrade anymore, and was advised to install a plug-in to fix that.  I haven't made this experience, but I made the experience that the firewall rules didn't work after the migration and had all to be redone.  After the painful experience, I was told that it would take many years to come before the migration would be necessary.  In spite of that, now apparently everyone who wants to be able to enable or disable firewall rules needs to do some kind of migration, even if it is only to install the plug-in.

Don't continue to pretend that it is an easy and harmless migration that wouldn't even require a big fat warning.  It is not.

This is not about technical details but about the user experience and about improving it.  From the technical details being clear to the developers, it doesn't follow that users are sufficiently informed even when they read the release notes.  Apparently, this very argument is futile here.  I wonder why that is.
