I would think about keeping the compatibility with the old mimetype
and _prepend_ new mimetype in the .desktop file (list of mimetypes is
supported). I do that to support raw sqlite files together with
kexi-specific files.
The same for extensions: new extension shall belong to the new mimetype.
In the "open"/"save" dialog you would think about mergine both
mimetypes into one option in the format combo box.

As a bonus you could also use this situation as an opportunity to do
some file format extensions (if you planned that).
At least I will (in Kexi 2.4 or 2.5).
