Yes, completely understood.

And for the vast majority of travelers that will get stuck in this mess, too bad for them I suppose.

For the IT folks, rather than hard cut-off, might it be possible to run parallel systems (with pre-migration data inserted), and then cut-off the old system, with updates to the new system for any migration period ticket changes?

Not sure if this is possible, or is this way too complex for the hamsters spinning the AC IT wheel?
