Personal views in site migration using Import-Export commads

Personal Views does not get imported/migrated when we do a site import-export on the sub-site or site collection level.

This is a known issue with the product, however, Microsoft doesn’t have any technical reference for this other then the discussion on the Technical Forum.

Other problem occurred with import exports are:

•           All personalization’s are completely lost (personal views, workflows and alerts) 
•           Various customizations are also lost
•           Sites based off old site templates are not handled
•           During import, some files are dropped off due to the blocked items list.
•           There are some versioning and security issues as well.

We have tested the above specification in our environment and results are same.
