Right. There is a difference between a User Guide
(which is what they asked for) and a document
outlining the core functionality in a way that would
show its transition.

Document it as-is. Make the users happy. If Dev wants
a migration reference, write that too. But don't try
to marry the two. They are two completely different
documents for different uses by different people.
