Ok, I take it as this:

   (1) The post-migration instance at treebase-stage is currently  
being used for informational purposes only: no data changes that need  
to be preserved will be done to this instance.

   (2) I should now start loading the final data batch into the  
production instance.

   (3) After the final load is done to production, we will again  
replicate it to staging, where we will do manual pre-release data  
cleaning.

   (4) Some bibliography entries in the release will have all info  
crammed into the title field.  This will be fixed after the release.

I am worried about the logistics of (4), and would prefer to have it  
done prior to the release.

(As a reminder, the hassle with copying back and forth between the  
production and staging instances is because the production server is  
significantly faster and loading of matrices and trees takes awhile.)
