What will be the best way to migrate the "websites" folder (along with databases and virtualhost stuff etc) to the next version's VM image without screwing everything up?

And when can we expect the next version? :)

How to migrate sites to a new VM?

I don't have any automated tools to migrate, and I'm not even sure I'd suggest migrating anything not imminently needed -- as they can needlessly slow down a VM. One of the advantages about VM's is the ability to clone & backup. Which means you can simply keep your old environment, and boot it up only when needed.

However, drush ard can be used to archive sites. Conversely, drush arr can be used to restore. I haven't really investigated what it would take to automate the process of backup and restore multiple sites.

Next version?

well I had been shooting for this week ... but I've a bugger of a project that I need to finish first. Hopefully early the week after next ... I do have a current pressing (personal) need to get this done ... so it seems highly likely it'll happen by end of November.

I see. So sort of a solution similar to rvm bundle, no need to upgrade when it's stable on a certain version. Makes sense!
