Thanks!

The only concern, really, is the data migration and the potential for
regressions. There are several subsystems now that are reliant on the CI
aspects of patchwork.kernel.org to track their work, so I'm trying to be
careful not to disrupt their work. I know that there are some cool new
features in 3.x that would warrant migrating to it sooner than later -- just
trying to plan out when is the best time to do it.

On the upside, we're on the cusp of moving the web ui parts to a containerized
deployment, so perhaps I can trial out the migration to 3.0 as part of that
work.
