How do we want to integrate it? I would prefer to keep the old one because
my system has plenty of memory. But I can imagine that other people prefer
the new one.

No, except reading a few e-mail with "mutt" during both builds and a
nice RC5 client there was nothing running.

I always do "make cleandir" *after* building. That's why I use "UPDATE=1"
to skip the unnecessary clean before building.
