Hmm, you're right that in the above cases there's only one case where we
would migrate (new->old, when dev->disabled is set), and this would
break the migration stream anyway, so there's no reason to migrate. But I
forgot to include the more common case of new->new:
new -> new:
dev->disabled set:
- migrated
- PASS
dev->disabled not set:
- not migrated
- PASS
So I was planning on migrating it via subsection. But it does make sense
to only use it for newer machine types so we don't trigger the failure
for (new->old && dev->disabled == true). Maybe that's what you were
suggesting in the first place?
I'll give that a shot.
