==> I'm afraid, even the word "transition" is misleading
in that case... Just check the definition of "transition" in a
dictionary (e.g, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transition)
and you will find the meaning of "leaving" a state/something for
another one.

 | True that many documents and people still use migration, but we need to

==> If you choose to be picky on words, and I can understand that
especially when it comes to teachnig/educating, than you should and
ban "transition", "migration" and "switching" (which is used quite
often as well) and retain "integration" and "coexistence" (and maybe
others to come) ;-)


Best Regards,

Mohsen.
