No, I agree with Vadim. You are just being too impatient ;-) Start with 
a new API as a wrapper around the old one. Then, one by one, replace the 
old API with new code. That way the new API is in place right from the 
start and the codebase is working all of the time.

Yes, this will take quite some time until wx3 will loose the old wx2 
library and code bloat, but this is the only way I see that we can 
create a better API.
