Note that this isn't a supported upgrade. It's conceptually similar to
renaming a .jpg file to .gif and hoping that the application that
loads it figures out and deals with the situation.
It worked with a few different projects, including a IOKit sample from
Apple, so I don't think your comparison is valid. I didn't open the
file with a random application that knew about .pbproj, I opened it with
Xcode.
If the formats are that different, and there was *no* support for the
upgrade built in to Xcode, then it wouldn't have worked at all. Saying
it's not supported isn't the same as saying there's no code in there to
do the conversion.
Admittedly it would be safer to do it from supported format to supported
format. That would require maybe one extra conversion, right? Because
at some point Xcode *did* support conversion of .pbproj files as the
expected case. But how many people keep multiple old copies of Xcode
around?
