We have the convert.processes property defined as "mergeable" in the HookHotDeployListener so a regular hook should work but ...

• You need to extend the ConvertProcess base class but It is only defined inside portal-iml so "nobody" will be able to use it (unless you are using an ext-plugin)

Since a regular hook will not work properly (you could make it work by doing some extra trick) we are just removing this incomplete functionality and rewriting it using the right approach.

We have already documented it in the BREAKING changes file in case somebody has already done some clever trick
