The old system as you call it ... the current system .... will stay in force until replaced by the new one.

As the documentation issued yesterday makes clear, the changeover is not going to be until some time in 2007.

You are rightly pointing out that the change will produce winners and losers. If your statistics are right then clearly you will want to apply before the changeover.
