Is it possible to move a work item from one project to another inside TFS? I’ve seen a copy option, but no move. Also, if it is possible, what’s the implication for any of the WI history?

I found this article from 2008 that seem to say it's not, but I wondered if there'd been any progress since then.

A: 

It isn't possible to move, just copy. The way we do it, is we do the copy, link the original, then close the original as obsolete. You could also create the copy and TF Destroy the original, but you will lose all history.

If you wanted to, you could get very fancy and create your own "move" utility that copies the workitem and all of the history, then closes out (or destroys) the old one. Seems like overkill for something that you probably shouldn't need to do all that often.
