Potentially but I'd need to see the specific case you'd like to write
a tool for. I don't think it'll be technically feasible to migrate
everything with the click of a button.
Infoboxes will move at the pace the editors migrate them
(automatically or by hand).
I believe he's talking about these infoboxes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Taxobox
They are quite regular in their contents so are good candidates for
automated editing/migration support.
