Interesting, but technically a Roth conversion isn't a rollover because tax
is paid. My instinct says that the MRD can't be converted, but anything
that is converted avoids future MRDs, so it should still be done....

I also found item "H" interesting.

I have not heard of any such rule.

Moreover, the IRS today released this report. See Item G which
is related to your question:

I thought I saw information that for this year a required distribution
from an IRA can be converted into a Roth IRA. I understand that previously
any rollover to a Roth did not count towards the required distribution. Is
this true? Does anyone have a source for it?
