Worst case for me is "50% of the modules are migrated and 50% aren't".
This is what would be the most confusing. That's why I prefer one big
switch for everything.

That being said, glib/gtk+ are special modules (they don't have to
follow the GNOME "rules"), so we can't enforce anything for those
modules. As long as it's well-known and documented they migrate to git
before the rest of the modules, I guess people will be able to live with
it :-)
