This says that L4D2 will be converted to SteamPipe when the game is launched next. I launched it today and didn't see any prompt to convert.

Did the conversion happen in the background? If so, how can I tell?

\steamapps\ *.asf - new content system, *.nsf - old content system, *.gcf - Source games on old content system

perhaps because of the problems identified during the upgrade and conversion of the users MacOS and even Windows, the process of mass conversion postponed to a later time or on another day
L4D2 for the conversion process is to replace the three *. ncf files to a *. acf (since the rest of the files are already compliant with SteamPipe...

I do have an appmanifest_550.acf file in my steamapps folder. Is this what I'm looking for?

[Seven7]

yes appmanifest_550.acf - you can open it with notepad - it's text file with control sums
left 4 dead 2.ncf left 4 dead 2 client.ncf left 4 dead 2 common.ncf - old files

I'm not quite sure why they posted that news piece because the conversion should happen instantly and silently for L4D2. There really was no need to publicise it.
