A "first draft" is maybe possible, but if it can't be tested if it's usable it might end up being as bad as the grid mode (if that's even possible). I wouldn't want to commit first drafts too.
Since the grid mode actually works on every screen, and is quite usable (just unintuitive) wouldn't the obvious solution be JdGordon's idea of adding some visual feedback to make it more obvious that it's there be a good solution to keep things working.
The simple fact that you don't like grid mode doesn't make it "unusable" by any stretch. Under many circumstances it's vastly more usable than absolute mode can ever be (including working in places where use of absolute mode would be a near impossibility), so it's simply down to preference and situation.
Rather than breaking screens entirely, when there's little-to-no chance that they'll be repaired soon, shouldn't we be looking for a way to try to keep them working through the transition?
