some very old very relevant websites have been known to completely redesign and change their sites, so it would be irresponsible for google to punish a site for changing all their links around... of course old links would die and the traffic from them would disappear, but new links should not suffer any kind of penalty from this kind of thing (making a custom 404 redirect is something I like to do if you aren't going to bother with 302s)

I would be careful about deactivating the site while you are thinking of or making the changes, I think that is much more of a problem if you end up parking or having the homepage down for too long than just starting over with all new pages
