At one time I was looking at this also and leaning toward you 2nd
option (removing the oldest version) and making the current the default.
The issue that I ran into though, is the fact that it appears they
changed to the build system (I think cmake) if I remember correctly.
Many of our current options are not valid and it really is a re-write
of the spell from the ground up or you are going to have to maintain
both build methods in one spell which seemed to all a lot of clutter
and will make maintenance very difficult.
Given that I was tempted to just renaming the old spell and building a
new mysql spell from scratch with the new build system and new options.
