I misread. What I want is to install the new code as todo-mode.el and
move the old code to obsolete.

There are many different options for the old code.
I think the simplest is to rename the file to obsolete/otodo-mode.el
(but keep the same "todo-*" names in it).

As discussed, I think it's OK if users can't use both at the same time.
It's better if they can, tho, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
