We would have to ask Denis about that, its non-trivial to move review
history between servers. This isn't something I would look forward to
doing. The biggest problem is the change sequence counter and the
account identity counter. We may have to either ask Denis to wipe his
database and import ours as-is, or we would have to ask Denis to
reserve a swatch of ids for our data, and do data transforms to change
our ids to a unique space in his database.
