yes, i'd recommend creating your new, remember-based classes in a different 
module, alongside the original CMFMember-based classes.  things can get a bit 
confusing when you change the class out from under existing objects in the 
ZODB.  you should still have the CMFMember product present in your Products 
directory, as well.

once the migration is successful, remember provides a 'remove_cmfmember' 
external method you can use.  this will clear out the CMFMember remnants that 
are left in your site.  once this is complete, then you can safely remove the 
CMFMember code from your Products directory, as well as the CMFMember-based 
classes that are now obsolete.
