If you are fine with removing them if there's robust support, how can =
you also be suggesting that it is impossible and shouldn't be talked =
about?

Personally, I think we should handle this the same way that other =
replacement tools have been done, which is close to what Baptiste has =
proposed.  If the new tools are totally awesome, we have replaced old =
tools.  If the new tools are good, but don't cover the older users, we =
develop along size.  If they are lame, but somehow get committed anyway, =
we take 18 years to replace them with bsdinstall.
