I have now, but to clarify, this system is not yet in production, so migration now isn't such a concern. My concern is migrations in the future.

I would say the official documentation [1] is unclear, and even contrary on the fact that migration is a service only available to hosted or enterprise customers. Even an official service provider I dealt with was unable to explain this to me despite being directly asked, and despite consulting with their contacts at OpenERP SA. I would urge OpenERP SA to be more forthcoming in this respect.
