I disagree, it's nowhere near the difficulty of writing a new back-end, it's 
only a conversion from one representation to another and one could say that 
only "tactical" decisions are to be made, as opposed to more "strategical" 
decisions for a new back-end.  And IMO starting from scratch is a bad idea.

Definitely, and doing a CC0 conversion is probably an upper bound.
