I mean, we are talking about _improving_ the convert-ly rules such that
they will presumably work for upgrading 2.12.
Of course, that is utterly pointless if you are using the 2.14.2
convert-ly for conversion. If you are not going to use the newest
convert-ly, any fixes that are made to convert-ly will be totally
useless.
So please check with the _current_ convert-ly. It has an option
-t, --to=VERSION convert to VERSION [default: 2.15.31]
for telling it at which version to stop. You don't need to let it run
all through to 2.15.31.
And conversions that fail with _that_ convert-ly are worth further
investigation.
