Good point. As far as I remember this is covered the NSM API, though.
It says that "New", "Open, and "Save/Save As" commands have to by
disabled while it is perfectly fine to offer a command "to import the
state of an existing project". So you get a new managed project but
with all state imported from an already existing possibly unmanaged
project.
