I think it's worth revisiting this. I know we're not ready to remove
legacy yet, but we're getting close. Starting to factor it out into a
switchable build option is a good way to make sure the transition is
smooth and help find anything that is still missing. Obviously the
default build option should be to keep legacy in, so users won't notice
anything.
