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.
