That's the goal. I think it's really important to allow sysadmins to migrate lists in phases so they can gain confidence and experience with the new system without committing to it whole hog.
That would mean the admin would need to be able to specify which lists to migrate.
I guess you might want to consider whether special handling is needed for virtual domains. I know we’ve been operating a nasty cludge, where we’re using SUBDOMAIN_LISTNAME@DOMAIN for an internal representation of LISTNAME@SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN. I suppose that’s unusual or unique, but it might be nice to allow migration of a list in 2.1 to a list with a new name in 3.0.
Sounds like we may need some hooks in the migration scripts so that admins can customize it for their needs. But in general, you're probably right that at least the migration script will need to take a source list name and migrate that to a destination list.
