IMNSHO, most of the stuff on that page can be accomplished in small,
easy chunks, with a minimum of disruption:
For each piece, create an EasyHack that looks like:
   (a) create new methods, namespaces, etc. that fix the problem
   (b) mark old stuff as deprecated
     http://stackoverflow.com/questions/295120/c-mark-as-deprecated
   (c) let the compiler point out the places that need changing
   (d) leave the old stuff for a couple of releases, and then start a
rolling delete
