I think you're misinterpreting that. "To", as in "migrate to version",
is a preposition. Therefore it should *not* be capitalized, per the
"don't capitalize prepositions shorter than 4 characters" rule. The "to
before a verb" rule refers to infinitives, like in "to run", where the
"to" is not a preposition, so it basically says that "to" should never
be capitalized, whether it's used as a preposition or as a particle.
Just my two pence, I certainly don't claim to be an expert in English
grammar ;-)...
