Yep, I saw he hadn't ruled that out yet and pinged him on Monday.

In the meantime, do you have any alternate ideas for this?  I wasn't sure  
how your

   new.style =
   old.style.path =

suggestion would apply to this, since that probably requires knowledge of  
what is possible in each section.  ([extensions] for example allows a  
leading 'hgext.', so it isn't a general split on '.' and compare  
algorithm.)
