Regarding question 2, I don't think we have any plans to deliberately break 
the old all-in-one .dll.so binaries. It is quite likely that this 
functionality will bitrot over time though. Also the functionality that the 
PE/unix split was introduced for won't be available that way:

* Make DRM systems happy that compare the on-disk DLL to the loaded image
* x86 on arm emulation
* 32 bit Windows programs with 64 bit Wine
* Full %gs access on macos
* Similar to the previous thing, support for aarch64 Windows binaries, use the 
x19 registers for thread local storage

So if your library is something that should be useful for the wider community 
then the new style is certainly the way to go.
