I thought that was the original plan way back when, once the new driver was ready for prime-time. Also, perhaps we should have a changing-over period where the old drivers are still available under a new name - until recently, Soren was advertising the driver as "WARNING: This is pre-alpha code and may trash your filesystems", etc, which may well have limited his testing base (it certainly scared me off). I'm all for moving forward, but I'd hate to eliminate a fallback path in case the transition proves less than smooth.
