I understand that, we obviously mustn't change the old API. What I
meant was to create something like gimp-paintbrush-wtih-dynamics.

The question is, when and how do we want to do this? Do we want to
give some sort of option now, and we will replace it when we move to
GEGL painting, or should we wait? I would like to see it implemented
before 2.8 if possible, however If we need to wait with this, i'll
wait.
