A quick thought that I just had concerns the redirections. When 
switching from the previous CMS to a new one I actually hooked the 
popular old URLs into the new site structure so the thousands existing 
links on the websites that we don't have control over would not point to 
a non-existing content. Would that be possible after the upcoming change?
