Needed to have a complete RT system on the other side.
I'm not sure why you think that an RT with only ticket / queue data is
useful.  You lose all the requestors and owners and ccs/adminccs
associated with tickets, which would tend to make the history kind of
useless.

I understand that you want to 'rework your users and ACLs' but RT will
not just magically pair up your brand new users with the old ticket
data.

--no-users will only export users that it encounters while crawling
other objects, rather than defaulting to serializing all privileged
users and then serializing unprivileged users as needed.

I don't believe you can do this.

You don't specify an RT version.  4.2.2 and 4.2.3 both contain fixes
for memory usage.

I've recently serialized with --clone a larger database in less RAM
than you quote.
