Until that's hammered out though (it's not even released yet) we need to have people uninstall everything prior to reinstalling.

No, I get that all ports need to be uninstalled, cleaned, and
reintalled. I'm talking about reinstalling MacPorts itself. Is it
necessary to reinstall the MacPorts base software after an OS upgrade?
I didn't think this was necessary, but the Migration guide says that
it is. If this isn't so, the guide should be updated, but it also
simplifies automated migration.
