The simplest thing to do would be to just drop any conversions where
there is a merge conflict, since if you have 95% using the template,
and 5% that doesn't, it doesn't much matter.  Then Dave could do
another pass, and that would probably get the next 95%, etc., and then
we would be close to do.

So I don't think there's any need to suspend adding new tests.  If
there are a few new tests that don't use the template at first, it's
really not the end of the world.
