Joseph summarized it pretty well. The backward compatibility picture might
be somewhat more complex than that, and there is not yet any consensus on
details of compatibility schemes. But there is consensus for a new
pre-allocating implementation to be used at least when everything involved
is newly compiled. IMHO getting the implementation of that started is the
first thing that needs to be done.
