Er, no. That's pure poison for documentation, understanding and collaboration.
Not an option.

If we're ever going to do a switch, it needs to be definitive - one single 
standard for everyone, and especially no paradigm change for newbies who want 
to use slightly more functionality than they did initially. (We could still 
provide VCS adaptors, but only as footnote and for those people who actually 
know what they're doing.)
