Hello Chris.

Nice changelog for EP-3.0.1

You have any update on improvements to the migration toolkit? Anita
and I here at DLIST would love to do more EP3 testing, but the
migration scripts are just too buggy (my previous posts to the list)
and testing on a empty repository doesn't provide as much feedback, as
say a full one. :)

Not meaning to be demanding or anything, just curious.

cheers,
joe
