It all depends on how cautious you want to be.  I consider INN to be relatively
"new" software that merits some amount of testing before dumping into
"production" environments.  In my case, I've found no major bugs with INN.  I
probably could have done it over a weekend.  Since we have a relatively small
news spool (5 days of comp.*, ~ 100MB), I thought what the heck, why not run
in parallel.

Most of my time was probably spent on making trn INN-compatible.  This has been
completed with the information received after my original posting.
