People conflate “high chance of X” with “X will happen” all the time. See elections, for example.
The phrasing strongly implies that they are taking the migration seriously and carefully. Merging straight to canary after 9 days is insane.
I have a friend who get super mad when he fails ">80% chance of success" throws.
This isn't case of this tho. Even he said that there is a high chance of RIIR, 9 days still insanely short time for such rewrite if you're planning to have some sort of community around the project.
We all have eyes, it doesn't take a genius to spot a lie.
