Which, I have to stress this now and here, is a really cool thing! I
did (manual) backups of all the chef-stuff within our chef-repo. And
last week I broke our chef10-server (already scheduled for replacement)
beyond easy repair. The choice was between spending a day to re-create
a chef10 server with all the data and hope all still works. Or
fast-track the ticket to set up a new chef11 server and import the data
from the version control backup and add all machines to the new server.
Took me 7:30 hours (according to our time-tracking) to do the later.
Thanks to all the devs of opscode!

Have fun,

Arnold
