Yes, it doesn't.  I learned this the hard way with the old migration 
code.  When I implemented file: migration, I noticed it never worked 
properly (properly being live) unless I used a rate limit.  Since we 
defaulted a rate limit, it seemed to work, but the true test is whether 
it works in the absence of rate limiting.
