2. for how long should we keep in parallel the two FIFO / UNIXSOCK

implementations before dropping the old ones? I am a fan of a fast transition I would drop the old impls as soon as the new one offer the same functioanlity - this will accelerate the testing and migration process.

since 1.1.2 will bring quite a lot of changes anyway, perhaps we could drop the old ones immediately. we need to bite the bullet at some time anyway.

So the questions are - when to drop the old impls and how to deal with backward compatibilities (as MI will not be 100% compat with SEMS for example)

since sems compatibility is very important and since we cannot change sems's socket interface, we have to provide backwards compatibility to it via tm module. i can be limited to unix socket only.
