Maintaining the existing make targets (perhaps even by just having them invoke mach) seems like a pretty small burden, compared to the cost of forcibly re-training everyone who's memorized the existing commands. Transitioning slowly for something like this seems reasonable - start by updating the documentation and having the targets print deprecation warnings and/or print out the new equivalent mach command, then eventually remove them. Doing this would alleviate dbaron's concern about running tests across branches after a sudden switch, because we can wait to remove the make targets until after mach has made it to mozilla-release.
