We have discussed this issue again and decided to keep the old Store2 code in the next release to ease the transition. The code will not be updated any more, and sites should switch to the new store sometime during the life of SMW 1.8. The default will be Store3, so no user will use Store2 unknowingly (rather one has to explicitly switch back to the old store).
