Block conversion from VS2008 to VS2010

We have a large development team, and was wondering if there's a method to configure VS2010 to block conversion of VS2008 projects to VS2010. The goal is to ensure that folks don't make a potentially large mistake by converting projects that should remain on VS2008. Folks could use VS2010 to work on solutions originally created in VS2010 only. One or two people on a team may be appointed as the ones who can do the conversion.

I've done a bit of searching hoping to find a registry key to enable this functionality, but so far no luck.

In an ideal world folks would be experienced enough to not make this kind of problem, and TFS will definitely ensure there's a recovery path, but it would be nice if we use studio to help prevent this from becoming an issue.

There's no easy way to do this, short of denying commit access to your project files. Of course I'm not sure of any reason NOT to convert the projects, unless maybe some of your team doesn't have VS2010 yet, as you can continue to target 3.5 and still use VS2010.
