This probably means that if one wants to use an old Zope 3.2 DB with
Zope 3.5 (is that a good name for the current "trunk" KGS?), one needs
to upgrade to 3.4 and then run a custom generation script to activate
and dirty all objects to cause re-pickling.  Right?

For some definition of relevance.

They're irrelevant for KGS 3.5, since old DB won't work in any case.

They're relevant for KGS 3.4, which appears to be a necessary
intermediate step in any migration from 3.2 to 3.5.

I also wonder if __bases__ on subsites are migrated correctly.  We don't
use subsites so the question is largely theoretical.
