Nexus 9K NX-OS to ACI Migration

Has anyone had experience or know use cases where Nexus 9K (as Core and TOR/EOR switches) running in NX-OS are converted to ACI gradually?  Is it even possible?  I can't imagine the complication of breaking up vPC, etc..

Hello! This has been in some ACI literature from early on and used as a selling point for gradually getting into ACI. 

Essentially, You would stand up your ACI POD, with a seed leaf and seed spine (or more) and gradually move your connectivity over, while converting your standalone switches to leafs/spines. Depending on the type of migration some scripts on github.com/datacenter can help move the NXOS configuration to ACI. 

I believe that there is a white paper in the works to address exactly this scenario that will be published to cisco.com sometime this year as well.
