I think flushing the old-style DO would be a very foolish thing to do.
It would break lots of old code. Who wants to have to go through old
code converting the DOs there to new-style DOs? (I suppose someone
out there recommending flushing the old-style DO has an automatic
converter to the new-style or is willing to write one?) This is very
different from the CATCH, THROW -> *CATCH, *THROW change because there
every CATCH and THROW was affected, so writing an automatic converter
was trivial.
