[ngw] Migrate and upgrade at once

[Danita Zanre]

Dan,

I routinely migrate and upgrade at the same time, because I know how to do
it, and am not afraid of it.  All of my books tell people that it's best to
do them individually, but I always also tell folks that there are plenty of
people out there who can manage it all at once.  You are probably one of
those!
