Optional. You have the old hanger code, just put it back in and make new CQ optional.
I remember when I thought life offered solutions this easy...

Yeah, have to remember we're talking about CCP here...
 Don't be a goof.
You know very well they can't just plug the old code into the new code and expect it to work, software doesn't often work that way.
Should they have taken more time and made the option available as Incarna was being developed? Yeah, it would have been nice.
Should we expect them be able to take an hour and splice back in the old hanger code and have it work seamlessly? Not realistically, no.

Most likely their programming is object oriented. Docking spawns an action, that currently branches in two possible outcomes: new CQ, or wall image. Replace the branch that takes you to the wall image with the old hangar code.
It's not rocket science or voodoo, it wouldn't be that difficult.
I think you forget that most of the work that went into Incarna is not visible to you. The bulk of the work went into creating new underlying code.
This means that to get back the old hanger view, the code would have to be created in large part from scratch. The old code can't interface with the new underlying code in the same way as it did before.
In other words, copy/paste won't cut it. It's a wee bit more complicated than that.

Obviously copy/paste won't do it, but anyone who has experience with application/game development can tell you that it's not that hard to do based on what we're seeing.
This is, of course, incorrect... regardless of how much you would like it to be otherwise.
