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.
