First, I do agree with using metric. (For one, it's just a superior measurement system and I absolutely hate having to deal with both systems on a day-to-day basis, when there's no added value to doing it.)

However, I've never understood the idea that you have to convert anything. At the granularity of RPGs, 1 yard = 1 meter. Conversion complete. There's no need to dig the calculator out and start doing 2.54 cm/inch or anything.
