I think we need more detailed instructions for moving data from an
existing DB to a new DB. The exporter would be the best way to do
that but importing a large XAR doesn't work either when the memory is
not large enough so import at the DB level is required anyway for
some large XWiki installs.
The problem with this comes from XWiki having code at the page level, so
if we make a bulk copy (as in the instructive) not a complete upgrade is
made.
My feeling is to let both migration path coexist so that anyone can
choose which one to use (I'm not sure this is a good idea, but in the
meantime the database copy is left into the migration path)
