There does need to be a different approach I completely agree.

These migration scripts are full of bugs and errors. I was very 
surprised when I discovered that a clean installation runs through these 
too.

I have spent a lot of time fixing most of the issues and speeding up the 
migration scripts where possible and I now run them from the command 
line only. They take so long to run (the ones from 5.4.0 to 6.0.0 and 
6.0.0 to 6.1.0 are the main problems) on a large database that doing it 
via the web interface would never work.
