Reply:
After much analysis, and making a real attempt and keeping things
compatible, the unfortunate conclusion is that we're removing these tools for
4.0.
As mentioned, `dumpdb`/`loaddb` are fairly thin wrappers around Django's
`dumpdata`/`loaddata`, and those are absolutely not
forwards/backwards-compatible between the versions of Django used for Review
Board 3.0/4.0. These were never really fully built for production use anyway,
more for development (in fact, loading requires a development setup).
There are plenty of issues deep within Django for compatible serialization,
and we'd have to rewrite much of that stack, which isn't worth the time, given
the work going into Power Pack.
We'll be adding a deprecation notice and warning when running these tools
in 3.0.21, and we'll be stubbing them out entirely in 4.0, showing just an
error message with guidance on alternatives.
