Due to the rework of item IDs in the up-coming-and-up-dated FTB pack it is going to be a nightmare for old save files to function: Items might vanish, generation could go crazy or the game might crash and this is assuming the saves would load in the first place. A new save file on a new world is the only way to guarantee smooth sailing. But what about all of the stuff on your previous file? The ores you have hoarded, the contraptions you have made, the buildings slaved over through many day and night?
Some may be disheartened but "c'est la vie" - such is life. Some might not care at all and would rather start from scratch - learn from mistakes and take a different route. Some might miss everything and could only dream of having everything back to how it was.
Regardless of how possible it may or may not be, what would you be thinking when the time comes to swap over? If you had the ability to swap anything over from your old save to the new one would you do it, what would it be and why would you choose it?
Personally, I would miss the goodies I have collected. It's hard to ignore so many hours gone caving and the countless close-shaves I have had when trying to keep said goodies and myself alive. When you have put so much effort into getting what you have got it's a bit of a kick in the teeth to wave goodbye to it all. If I could swap anything over it would have to be all of the items I have stored since day 1: The buildings, farms, machines and everything else can be re-made with enough time.

I play for the experience of it, not for some result or product. In fact, my entire world was almost Macerated by the Advanced Machines bug, and I was not upset; I enjoy starting anew.
