I have great empathy for the desire to see these bugs fixed. The
conversion must come first, though, and in the interest of making it
easier on me and other reviewers, I must insist on keeping the conversion
free of any changes, much in the way as we try to avoid evil merges (i.e.
merge commits that introduce changes that were not present in any of their
parents).

Depending how the conversion goes, I could imagine that there might be
plenty of time to do fun stuff on top, such as fixes for the bugs you
mentioned.

Ciao,
Johannes
