I believe that any other solution will be better than current situation.

However, I recommend of horizontal change when such introduced, leaving hybrid 
implementation in tree will just make maintenance cost higher when introducing 
new dependency. It should not be that difficult to port all current 
implementation to the new dependency when selected.
