Outstanding questions:
* How do we upgrade existing users using XE?
Can we make the new KB flavor ids as an alias of the old XE id? Just like
we declare the properties section in the pom (not sure if it's possible,
but this way the EM won't see it as something different, but just as
something renamed). Thanks,
