Yes looks good, we should probably integrate this somehow in the release 
notes, so that people do not have to read everything.

We do not support a migration and people have to start with a new fresh 
installation. Doing a backup and restoring some settings manually works.

Rafał created this forum post:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/mini-tutorial-for-dsa-network-config/96998

It would be nice if someone could create a wiki page based on this.
