Third Draft: Pep for Deprecating Builtins

Perhaps I don't understand the transition path to new style classes.

Is the plan to have the 2 class structures co-exist indefinitely?
That would seem strange and more than a little ugly.

But isn't the concept of deprecating old style classes near 
impossible, as a real world matter?

Doesn't the Python of pure new style classes necessarily
need to be a new generation of the language?

If the issue here is my own confusion, I believe it
reasonable to assume it is confusion shared by enough 
other folks, so that some clarification of the intentions
would make sense.
