Should AJAX be depreciated in favor of a AHAH module?

I read some discussion (maybe find them back later) about that AJAX is replaced by AHAH and CTools in D7.

As I'm constructing a module rich site, it will take me at least a year to change to D7 when all those modules have been upgraded.

But I prefer to work with the new technology for D6, not the old one. Will AJAX be modernized for D6 to be fully AHAH?

Or would it be better to start a AHAH project and move all functionality of AJAX over to that project for D6, as well as for D7?

Interesting, I have found the Ajax module very useful while the AHAH framework not so much. It is my understanding that in D7 the AHAH framework was totally rewritten and now uses ajax prefix for the function calls and handlers on the client-side.

Anyone else had presentations on the subject or reviewed the code in D7?

Does D7 have all AJAX functionality or not?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what is technically going on, as I only know those words, not their implications.

Do you mean that the D7 AHAH already has all AJAX functionality build in?

(then there is jQuery, JavaScript, XAJAX and new modules like Ajaxit; should one mix them all, or is there a tactic to only implement the best & what would that be then?)
