I think that will take several days (~week?) to complete, so it should
be done on 'staging' so that users are not left without binary
substitutes for very long.

But then, we are probably facing a weeks worth of merge conflicts.

I would assume `git cherry-pick` could resolve most hunks, no?  Files
with many conflicts may be easier to reset to their original state and
redo.

If you do have to redo large parts of it, maybe we could do it in 3-4
batches and keep an eye on Hydra in between?  It would cause some extra
rebuilds, but I suspect it's the least painful option.
