It does not break anything. In fact I've written a new milter without touching the old one. If it suits you, go on and use it. If it doesn't just use the old milter. Up to you.

Again I dont. If you don't want to change, just don't. Also, if you fell like maintaining the old milter please send us patches. It's still sitting under /contrib and will always be available there. I'll be committing them for you. As a side note the new milter was announced on December the 5th. In exactly 4 months i've received 1 bug report, promply fixed, and, as of yesterday, 0 feature requests.
