Most of the conversion patches will be small & targetted. Obviously it
assumes that 95% of the stuff gets converted this way during the first
period. So the final conversion at the end is quite small.
But there's no GSoC planned for the next six months!
On a more serious note, I don't think this expectation is realistic,
and at the end of it all the we'll just end up doing pretty much the
same big-bang conversion, only with a few months of neither here nor
there in between.
