Can wie stop using this argument pls?
We are talking about something deprecated since 10 years, about the 1st
major release in a decade, something we will use for the next 12-14 years.
5.x will be maintained as well for the next 3 years (plus distros LTS). We
do not break BC since quite some time too in minor releases.
Cheers,
Pierre
