I'm confused by your question - dradual conversion is entirely orthogonal
to what exactly we're converting too. All I added here is that we've
discussed this at length, and the macro is the best thing we've come up
with. I still think it's the best compromise.

Flag-day conversion for over 60 calls doesn't work, no matter what.
