One thing to keep in mind is that should you decide at some point to change
to Mills your Custom Source Categories may be "lost". This refers to those
Source Categories that you create for your use and based on (Most Similar
To) a Lackey Source Category entered in the Custom Source Category Screen
in System Configuration. That is, when you create a Custom Source Category
with the various Templates, TMG asks for the "Most Similar" (presently
Lackey) Source Category and when you select Mills or Initialize to Mills,
all Custom Source Categories are converted to the Mills Source Category
corresponding to the selected Lackey Source Category. The data will
remain, but may not print when and where you expect because the Template(s)
are different and/or don't have the Source Element that you have in the
Custom Template(s). So you may need to re-create the Custom Source
Categories at this point -- this time based on Mills.
