I understand that Lion has changed the way Migration works. Does anyone happen to know if Lion will support the selective migration of apps from an existing system to a new one? For example, I'd like make a fresh start and migrate only Mail data and iPhoto data and select other programs+data.
I'm using a 2008 Mac Pro that has been migrated from several previous systems. Frankly, I'd like to get rid of a lot of junk.

Probably not. Who knows where all the meta data lives. I'm surprised that Apple doesn't support something like this.
I really don't feel like losing hundreds of email and other items.
