People think they can move from Cloud to their own instance

Feedback from an otherwise happy user:
I think GitLab Cloud has some false expectation setting. From the main page: We offer GitLab Cloud for free to widen the audience for GitLab. Many organizations that end up running GitLab on-premise started with GitLab Cloud.
This strongly implied to me that I could start my projects with GitLab Cloud and then migrate them in-house. But GitLab doesn’t actually have any migration features! You have to set up the new projects by hand and bring over all the pieces individually (the code repo, the wiki repo, the issues, etc).
