I can't imagine that the new system will support Click, but it's customary
in Ubuntu to support the old release for a while after a new version is
released. And since users most likely will have to flash their devices in
order to get the new version, an overlap is pretty much a requirement. In
other words, I think we can get the new system fairly soon, but that not
all users will be able to upgrade immediately, because not all apps will
have been ported yet. That will of course also be an incentive for app
developers to port their apps.

I think it's a good idea to have a gradual transition anyway, since there
are good chances for regressions when making changes such as these.
