I'd prefer Gary's suggestion. Branching creates the risk of loosing changes and requires significant effort to keep things in sync.

With (a limited number of) #ifdefs we can stay in head, and whenever the new code is good enough we will switch, removing the old one.

Using a subclass instead of some #ifdefs is possible, you two can decide which is better. We should not use branching though.
