I am a heavy user of the animation blit technique as descried here http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/event_handling.html#draggable-rectangle-exercise and here http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations.
I just saw there is a new animation framework. Is this framework meant to replace the above technique (a good example of it is the extra credit solution from the first link)? If so, how can I use the new framework in place of the old one?
No, the animation framework is intended to make it easier to produce animations--sequences of frames displayed at uniform intervals. It does not address interactive functionality such as cursors, dragging, etc.

To confirm, the methods supporting interactive animation will not be removed, right?
I was just slightly worried after reading “The animation module is intended to replace the backend-specific examples…” in the ‘What’s new section’ on the matplotlib website.

It means exactly what it says. It is intended to make animations easier and backend-independent. This way, the examples are easier to understand and more people can use mpl for basic animations.
The animation module actually uses the features (although there are some bugs), so those things wont be removed anytime soon.
