Regarding a plan for conversion, I'm keen to avoid perfect being the enemy of better. It seems a bit early to discuss conversion given there’s not consensus on a style. For example:

I see it a bit differently. The first question is "should we change the LLVM naming conventions". I view the plan for conversion as essential to answering this question - IMHO if we're going to live with mixed styles for years (which would be the case if there were no concerted conversion effort) then the advantages of changing naming convention are outweighed by the disadvantages by quite some way. So while I appreciate the desire to separate concerns, I find it difficult to do so in this case.

Best,
