My preference would be to have:
o A provably correct script If a small subset of
possible conversions are skipped, that's fine.
o As piecemeal patches cause a lot of churn, work
for individual maintainers, and also are not
universally applied, have that script run
kernel-wide after an rc1 and applied all-at-once.
