I tend to agree. Reasonable time to migrate appears to be reasonable "grace period." If unreasonable planning, hard (for me) to understand need for unreasonable "grace period." 'reasonable' of course in need of a defintion, but from what I see most (but perhaps not all, these days... so I may be wrong) service providers allow sufficient "grace period" to make the technical needs fly. I'm far from sure non-technical issues should imply extended "grace period." Hrm,...
