+1 on not forcing Operators to transition to something new twice, even if we did go for option 3.
Do we have an agreed non-distruptive upgrade path mapped out yet? (For any of the options) We spoke about fallback rules you pass but with a warning to give us a smoother transition. I think that's my main objection with the existing patches, having to tell all admins to get their token for a different project, and give them roles in that project, all before being able to upgrade.
