Trying to make the conversion 100% automated is a mistake.

Why? I've always found that trying to do something is a positive step
towards achieving it. Certainly, it won't happen if I don't try.

The concept here one might wish to consider, Mr Dashwood, is 'the law of
diminishing returns'. Yes, 100% conversion of a given system's
idiosyncracies might be possible... but this might not occur within the
project's timeline.

'On time, on spec, on budget... pick two'.

It will be too late to change by then.

Robert, it is NEVER too late to change something that is wrong...:-)
