I'm not familiar with this BB extension, so please explain a bit more
what it does and how it's used.

No. You can re-use all of your bb-hosts configuration, clients,
and client-side extensions. Server-side (on the BBDISPLAY server)
extensions may need some work - many run just fine on Hobbit.

Your alert-configuration will need to be re-written; Hobbit has a
completely different alert setup.

You can replace the BB clients you use with the Hobbit client; it gives
you some nice features, but is not required for the initial migration.

If you're using the LARRD add-on, you'll need to re-arrange your RRD
files into a new directory structure; there's a script in the Hobbit
sources that does it for you.
