RPs are facing a big problem explaining what's going on to users when they convert legacy users to BID accounts. We've seen this clearly with mozillians and mdn. It caused lots of discussion, flurries of designs, stressed out devs. We need to solve this for all sites, not expect that they'll have access to a designer to help.

* detect that the user is converting their account
* possibly detect if they've ever used BID before
* have a "whoa, hey there, what just happened" screen that explains what's going on
