It is no problem as long as you migrate while you are still
using a Zope 2.7 (ZODB 3.2) release.
We added automatic migration code to our old "BTree/Intset" using code.
But we may need an explicit conversion before we finally upgrade
to Zope 2.8 -- to get very rarely used objects upgraded as well.

The migration is trivial as long as "BTree" and "Intset" are still
available. We use for example the following "BTree" migration.
# backward (pre Zope 2.8) compatibility
try:
from BTree import BTree as _BTreeOld
# DM 2005-08-25: for unknown reasons, this can raise an "AttributeError"
# rather than an "ImportError"
#except ImportError: _BTreeOld = None
except (ImportError, AttributeError): _BTreeOld = None
from BTrees.OOBTree import OOBTree as BTree
...
tree = self._tree
if _BTreeOld is not None and isinstance(tree, _BTreeOld):
# still an oldy -- upgrade to modern structure
self._tree = BTree(tree)
msg = 'BTree upgraded'
else: msg = 'BTree was already modern'
