For one thing, there may be questions specific to migrated accounts.  
Default assumptions and such may be specific to Best.  This factor will of
course go probably away after a while, but it may be significant for some
time after the old machines are gone.

Also, we might want best.social for a while, assuming some significant
number of Best alumni stick around.  Or would this be better done as a
world-wide Alt group, to include those who don't stay with Verio?
