Same here, but I'd like to have a list somewhere of what each
of the ABI versions is for and how they're supposed to behave. It's
starting to look like we're going to be adding these on a semi-regular
basis, so we need to keep track of what each one does and why.
I also don't have any major heartburn about leaving the OLD
thingies in 2.4. I'd like to remove them, but part of my reason for
wanting to nuke them was to keep 2.4 and 2.6 identical, but we're not
doing that, so it's not as big a concern.
