At the moment you have a zillion user notes, which is worse? :)
Having atleast 9 different notes (str_split before I deleted them all) each
with their own version of the function, all of which only worked in a couple
of situations is definitly unwanted clutter!
I think putting some information into the migration docs, and the faq is a
good suggestion, but I don't think it covers all bases.
