Good question :)
I suspect the underlying interface to tabular material will remain
rather similar. (Although I'd like to write a better *user* interface,
one day.)
Either way, I can't see anything happening in the near future since
porting array would be a big job and maths is all rather up in the air
at the moment. (breqn is taking form but it's very early days yet;
it's current incarnation on CTAN is probably the last that *won't* use
the expl3 bundle, though.)
But there's no problem, of course, using their "LaTeX2e" macros in your package.
