I'm afraid I think this is a stunningly bad idea.

We already have a major incremental upgrade compatibility problem
between 1.3 and 2.0, which we're still having major problems sorting
out and which will delay the release of 2.0.

Instead of rushing headlong into changes we should make sure that we
have an orderly transition plan which doesn't make old and new
packages incompatible.
