No 'big push' because there's too much historic code out there.
But I thought I'd read somewhere when it first came out that
the old style was deprecated? But I may be hallucinating! :-)

OTOH the new style brings enough benefits, especially in the
areas of dynamic formatting,  that I'd strongly suggest moving
to it if you are making the jump to v3 anyway!
