I always have been for an evolutionary approach (I'm an adept of the "Don't
rewrite from scratch" mantra). So I think rewriting and prefixing one
module at a time (or a few) between stable releases is a good idea. As to
whether this is doable while maintaining (strict) backwards compatibility,
I'm a bit skeptical. But challenges are meant to be surmounted.
