Right, all the parameters are different now so the migration would
not be clean. For most of them it's just a matter of case, the new
datastores use a capital first letter, the old ones all lowercase.
Then there is the issue of the dbtype, atm it's different (oracle-ng)
to allow the two datastores to coexist in the same container and
be compared, if we want a smooth upgrade path we'll need to
make sure everything is equal to the old one when we push the
new datastore in the supported land (early adopters will have
to adjust their parameters, but they should be a minority
compared to wider user base).

Cheers
