Ohhhhhhhhhkay, now I get what's going on.  It works if I have at least 1
effort estimate in days.  What does not work is if the sum of effort
estimates sums up to over a day, it stays as hours.  I don't know if
this behaviour is better or worse than my expected behaviour.  For my
usecase I do have some estimates that are over a day but the legacy
behaviour would automatically convert.

Here is an example:

* Test1
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %50ITEM(Task) %10Effort(Effort){:}
:END:
** Foo
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   8:00
:END:
** Bar
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   8:00
:END:
** Baz
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   8:00
:END:

This sums to 24:00, if I change 1 of these to 1d I get 3d (which is what
I want).

Thank you!
