A few points:
- based on usage statistics initially only hourly ensemble surface forecast fields are available
- to ease the migration, legacy layer names are encoded in a layer metadata of the GetCapabilities response as "legacy name: OLD_NAME" keyword
- the default styles and the style names are the same as before the migration
