I did not want to imply that the guide should already provide solutions.
The guide is great in itself.

But when we talk about the migration effort today, we should already
be aware of all aspects that we can know about.

That way we can more realistically estimate the future effort,
rather than when we only look at minimal examples.

So for the discussion today, the guide is not too helpful,
that's what I was trying to point out.
