[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

In some other languages seems to be different, and I guess is good to use a
universal word. Anyway, I was not referring to a strict dictionary meaning,
but what the people recognize when you do a training.

I've been doing trainings since 2001, possibly an average of 1 per week or
so, and when I started, I also used migration.

Then I realized the people was coming back to me with questions such as
"then I disable IPv4 ...". So it was being wrongly understood.

Once I started to use transition and coexistence, I didn't heard anymore
that kind of questions, so the "perception" of both words is quite different
for the people.

Of course, agree with you, from a strict dictionary perspective, that
integration and coexistence seems much better.

Regards,
Jordi
