Hi,
I agree, deprecate and replace is the way to go. That's what I'm doing with Psych and with Fiddle. I really like this option because I don't want to break people's code.
There is a downside though. I've tried shoehorning the REXML api on top of Nokogiri. The problem is that doing that work is thankless and not very fun. The API for REXML is just too large, and the deviations between the way it works and how libxml2 works are too many.
I think if we add new libraries, and encourage people to move to the new ones, then start removing the old ones, that would be best.
