2) for how long should we keep in parallel the two

implementations before dropping the old ones? I am a fan of a fast
transition I would drop the old impls as soon as the new one offer the
same functioanlity - this will accelerate the testing and migration
process.
since 1.1.2 will bring quite a lot of changes anyway, perhaps we could
drop the old ones immediately. we need to bite the bullet at some time
anyway.
So the questions are - when to drop the old impls and
how to deal with
backward compatibilities (as MI will not be 100% compat with SEMS for
example)
since sems compatibility is very important and since we cannot change
sems's socket interface, we have to provide backwards compatibility to
it via tm module. i can be limited to unix socket only.
