I think this is a bad call. Making GEOM default is reasonable, but removing the old code this quickly is begging for problems. I know that you have little desire to keep it, but there is some level of compatibility that you need to keep for at least a while. In the fullness of time, I can see this being reasonable, but I think that this is too destabilizing this close to a release, and leaves us with no fallback position should unforseen issues with GEOM arise.
