-For achival nodes, we don't have the confidence that the [previous indexing system](#previous-indexing-system) has the correct data to bootstrap from. In 2024, Lotus maintainers have fixed multiple bugs in the [previous indexing system](#previous-indexing-system), but they still see reports of missing data, mismatched event index counts, etc. Investing here in a migration isn't guaranteed to yield a correct index. As a result, one would still need to perform the [backfill steps](#backfill) to validate and correct the data anyway. While this should be faster having partially correct data than no data, it would still require an archival node to take an outage on the order of days which isn't good enough.
