And I advise you to choose "none" with 0.13. While the 1.2 block
migration code doesn't add new options over 0.13 and is deprecated, it's
expected to kind of work. However, I'm pretty sure that we fixed some
data corruptions issues after 0.13 and so I'd expect that 0.13 eats your
data when using block migration.
