The issue I have with these is less about the project size, but more about them not being clearly defined. There is no easy way to identify sites that can be adapted, and neither is there a common understanding in the project that this is even something we want to do. So personally I'd leave them out of a first iteration so that we only have a set of "trivial" projects that are commonly accepted, which allows us to focus on the form of the new document instead of bikeshedding the proposed projects. Which doesn't mean that we shouldn't discuss adding these projects at all. But I'd rather think that should be left for another iteration so that we can discuss their scope and merit more in depth.
