I am not agreeing or disagreeing or taking any position on this at all.
 Please consider my questions about this to be merely data gathering. :-)

Why should we have such a formal break?  Why shouldn't we instead
transition from one to the other in a seamless way?  I worry a lot about
duplication of effort, etc.

Are there objections from old-school wiktionarians to the ultimate
wiktionary plans?  Is it possible that we could address these objections
through code?

I'm very sorry that I don't already know all of this, but I'm sure you
can all get me up to speed quite quickly.
