That "6 years" comes from machine type deprecation period, and migration
compatibility is mostly only attached to machine types, and we only ever
allowed migration with the same machine type.

It means, >6 years migration will never work anyway as soon as we start to
deprecate machine types (irrelevant of any reuse of UNUSED), because the >6
years machine types will simply be gone.. See configuration_post_load(),
where it'll throw an error upfront when machine type mismatched.
