Phillip's v4 [1] does take backward-compatibility into account, but with minimal extra code, which seems a reasonable compromise between no backward-compatibility and the heavyweight approach of v3. I left a few comments on v4 [1], but none were blockers, and changes based upon those comments can be done later, so I think the series can move forward.
