I hadn't thought about this before as I've never had to take care of any 
migration issues, but it sounds like a very good idea.

Instead of writing a bunch of migration scripts that manipulate 
persistent data, you could just write a few adapters from the equivalent 
of ICOREBlogWeblog to IWeblog and ICOREBlogWeblogEntry to IWeblogEntry. 
  Following the pattern used in QuillsEnabled for standard folders and 
documents should then give you exactly what you need, even with the 
possibility of going back to COREBlog at any moment :).
