I'm thinking it will be quite separate, as it appears it really is a complete rearchitect of the current LUWS solution. Also, the way other labs.lds.org projects have worked indicates you will probably have to go to a different URL than the current one to access it. The best case scenario for integration would be if the current LUWS provided a link to the labs-hosted beta site, but I think that would be the extent of the integration.

Here's the official response to whether or not current events on ward/stake calendars will be migrated over at some future date;

We will actively begin to encourage units to use the new calendar towards the end of this year ... to put 2011 events on it & then to use it going forward. So, events from the old/current LUW calendar will not by sync'd to the new calendar.

Does the new calendar take input files? (iCal, vCal, csv, ?) [hopeful grin]

Not at this point. It does say that the 'beta' does not support import so perhaps it will be added later.
