I agree; fix the notebookbar's bugs and make it easy access in 6.1. The removal of the older toolbars can be later. It could also be a smoother transition for some users. (And help find bugs that would otherwise be forced on everyone)

IMO, that should be a priority. If supporting these multiple Notebookbar options is not a blocker to that, then I guess it's not bad to maintain them.
