- the new columnset code has been around for a while now and has become 
default ... the old code is a module

- the new mixed column code has been around for even longer (and always 
was default on my machine) btu the old code is available as module

both old mechanism were only partially adapted to mkiv and i bet that 
there were side effects

- the new page columns mode is the way to go for columns with floats etc

so we have three mkiv column models and two old ones available as 
modules (i expect them to keep working more or less ok but nothing will 
be changed in them)
