Un-Murdering Cyrus?

Friends,
I've got a Cyrus installation, at a client with roughly a dozen 
locations around the UA, which started life about 20 years ago and was 
split into a murder -- 2 frontends, 1 backend, 1 mupdate master -- 
several years back.  At the time of the split, there were plans to 
geographically distribute portions of the mailstore, via the murder.  
However, before that project got very far, the client decided to make 
the leap to higher bandwidth Internet feeds, and then to an MPLS 
network, so the impetus for the murder has really gone away.

At this point, with an upgrade from 2.5.11 to 3.0.X imminent, it makes 
sense to un-murder (resurrect?) the systems.  Is this possible?  I'm 
assuming it would simply involve dumping the mailboxes.db, stripping out 
the murder-specific bits, and then reloading it.  Is that correct?  Or, 
given that there's only a single backend, is this even necessary; can I 
just use the mailboxes.db from the single backend?

Here's what a typical user's mailboxes.db entries look like on the 
murder's mupdate master:

    user.onlight    1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight    lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin   lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Drafts     1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight    lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Junk       1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight    lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda   anyone  p       cyradmin   lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Sent       1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight    lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Trash      1 mailbox.example.com!default onlight    lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda

Here is the same excerpt from the backend's mailboxes.db:

    user.onlight    0 default onlight       lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin   lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Drafts     0 default onlight       lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Junk       0 default onlight       lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda   anyone  p       cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Sent       0 default onlight       lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda
    user.onlight.Trash      0 default onlight       lrswipkxtecda   cyradmin        lrswipkxtecda

And here's a similarly typical user's mailboxes.db entries from a 
non-murder setup of the same vintage:

    user.onlight    0 default onlight    lrswipcda       cyradmin        lrswipcda       anyone  p
    user.onlight.Drafts     0 default onlight    lrswipcda       cyradmin        lrswipcda       anyone  p
    user.onlight.Sent       0 default onlight    lrswipcda       cyradmin        lrswipcda       anyone  p
    user.onlight.Spam       0 default onlight    lrswipcda       cyradmin        lrswipcda       anyone  p
    user.onlight.Trash      0 default onlight    lrswipcda       cyradmin        lrswipcda       anyone  p

So, ignoring the obvious differences in some of the ACLs, it looks to me 
like the backend's mailboxes.db is just fine, and is all I would need.  
Is this correct?

In other words, all I really need to do is update the backend's 
cyrus.conf to reënable the various normal services, turn off the 
mupdatepush service, and Bob's your uncle, right?

Please advise,
