Correct. Keep in mind I don't think the XML route will convert the users
table, just the wiki data itself. As someone else mentioned, the
wiki itself will work fine, but support for any MediaWiki extensions
is hit or miss because MediaWiki was a MySQL only shop for so long
(and Wikimedia still uses it, and they influence a lot of the MW
development).
