The bulk of the gconf->gsettings migration in GNOME application has happened in f15, when GNOME 3 was introduced. Since then, we've been installing .convert files in /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/ and running the gsettings-data-convert tool at every login.
I think it is time to declare the migration done, and phase out those .convert files. I'd like to propose this as a goal for f20.

Wouldn't it be easier to disable the conversion script by default instead? It would also be easier to achieve this upstream, if we decide to phase out the GConf migration there, though I can see benefits in keeping the files and the script (even if disabled) so that larger scale migrations can happen.
