Although I'm still on the fence about whether I'd vote for the Change as is,
I tend to agree with this sentiment.

Having two sets of code with different characteristics seems like
isomething of a disservice to users (I started bzip'ing my logs and backups
because the performance was suitable for my task when I tested with
/usr/bin/bzip2 but then when I operated on those logs with a custom python
script it was 3x slower!)

From past precedent I agree that getting the new package to the point where
we think it's a suitable replacement and then just making the switch for the
next release makes the most sense.
