Changing all pre-existing packages, maybe.  But doing this for new
packages (reducing review effort) and perhaps when a package is updated
(for purity) should be feasible I think?  Then gradually things would
improve and eventually(TM) doing the switch in the bootstrap phase may
become feasible ...
