[rt-devel] RT::Transaction and migration

[Jesse Vincent]

Ideally, we'd have an RT::Transaction::Import() method. In the meantime,
well, it's a case of "if you do this, you're responsible for a lot of
integrity checking ,etc" which is why the docs tell you not to do it.

import-1.0-to-2.0 is a reasonable template for moving from 
a crufty, hacky, poorly designed ticketing system to RT2. ;)
