This is the easy part in any IT migration, and depends only upon the

argument for why it is necessary.

This is the hard part. Not every IT person gets to dictate policy to their
organization. You might be called in to explain why you didn't implement
the bad idea "correctly" when the shit inevitably hits the fan!

Just my $.02 on this topic, speaking as a list member.
