That migration is done already since some time ;)

You're probably looking for one of the smart_* settings:

smart_frame_surroundings (Integer)
   If set, frame borders and gaps will be removed when there’s no ambiguity
   regarding the focused frame.

smart_window_surroundings (Integer)
   If set, window borders and gaps will be removed when there’s no ambiguity
   regarding the focused window.

Florian
