The most likely way it'll happen is this:

The module that provides the Mailman integration will have a new name, like 
"base-mailman" instead of "base-maillist". So on existing servers it won't get 
installed automatically, which prevents all conflicts. These boxes simply 
continue to run Majordomo, until they're retired, or someone manually does 
something about it.

There will be a new ISO image and a new OS template which contains "base-
mailman" instead of "base-maillist". So all future installs will then carry 
Mailman instead.

For those who want to convert existing Majordomo lists to Mailman there will 
be a procedure posted that involves either running a provided script, or a 
list of manual commands that need to be performed.
