IIRC it was mostly about how to support transitioning from one API to the other since currently there's no compatibility. I guess there's nothing stopping one from using both APIs in one codebase though, AFAIK Xapian handles the required locking. But some of the discussions suggested being able to create a new Message object from an old one etc, allowing you to do more mixing during a transition period. This is the part that I said is possible but a lot of work and questionable if no one thought they'd be using it.
