Just to expand on this: even if things have appeared to work with the
legacy SAs the information they contain is not useful in many cases - it
doesn't relate to space tokens, it doesn't have the right authorisation
information and often it doesn't have the right storage path. It also
doesn't comply with the rules about publishing installed capacity. And
as people may have noticed it generates a lot of errors in gstat 2 as a
result ... so IMO it's definitely better that people should notice that
they have problems and fix them, than continue with tools which are
silently doing the wrong thing.
