I migrated 2 sites from 3.x to 4.0.x. I just put in the new libraries
and fixed everything that did not compile. For the most part the 3.x
html and page files will work. Both took a couple of days to get a
site that mostly worked. The biggest problems were things like PDF
pages, all the plain HTML stuff was pretty easy.

But as you say, you end up the something odd after this. On one
project I just put up with the fact that it's an in transition
project. Anything new I do the 4.x way. When I have to mess with old
code I update things. On the other project I took the opportunity to
clean things up and started over. I needed to make some schema
changes, I wrote a bunch of hivemind services and pretty much rewrote
the entire site. That took about 6 weeks but the new site is better,
has test cases and is much easier to work on now.

I would try and covert the site, get some experience with 4 and when
the time is right rework the site to take advantage of the 4.x
features
