Database upgrade should not be quite problematic considering that
multi-product plugin's columns have not changed since some time and
4.0 includes MP DB structure but not the other aspects , mainly the
isolated product envionments developed for BH>=0.6 . Something worth
considering is the state of other plugins e.g. relations . Is it
enabled and working ?

Would you mind if default product prefix is set to something different
, let's say BH ?

I guess you mean in the global environment i.e. at base URL .

It is possible to create the wiki page and that's it but ...

... the question is what's going to happen with all the URLs (e.g. in
messages instructions , archive , ...) pointing at i.a.o/bh/... now
available at i.a.o/products/PREFIX/... (PREFIX=@ or PREFIX=BH or ...)

Considering the answers to questions above I might have another
proposal ... which is basically to continue hosting the default
product at i.a.o/bh other potential new products at
i.a.o/bh/products/PREFIX and global admin at some other
non-conflicting URL e.g. i.a.o/bh/global (<= but may a different
naming convention be chosen as well)

Thanks for your help and the time dedicated to make this happen .
