Yes, you're right there. It is not easy to make such changes. On practical terms: very difficult. But, if you use some path translation mechanism to bring compatibility between the two systems, they could work together without breaking anything... just thinking. It looks like if I want it, I will have to do it by myself, since today no one has made it a reality.
