Mezzanine to PCI-E adapters?

[HWGeek]

Is there anyway of using mezzanine server cards in regular PCI-E slots? From my understanding mezzanine uses pci-e as the communications protocol and it should be a matter of physical conversion so an adapter wouldn't be unthinkable. Anyone seen one or know whether it's possible? A complication seems to be that every major server manufacturer has their own form factor so I guess it would be specific for that.

I think that we are unlikely to see these. Perhaps the only (remote) possibility would be the OCP mezzanine cards but I doubt anyone will do that.

Too bad as the cards can be found for peanuts literally and it really only should be a matter of physical routing...
