I also would like to keep this overlap to a minimum. Ideally it would be just enough time for devs to try things so we can fine tune any major rough edges before removing things.
The only reason it’s not my concrete plan is that it’s a little out of my hands and will depend on when/if enough of us can handle churning though through the switch to the teams satisfaction. I don’t expect all smooth sailing. You are definitely a key piece to that equation, so that’s a start if you are going to be ready.
