Upon thinking about this issue, I came to a conclusion that, as
surprising as it might sound, I don't understand the problem that bugs
you.

All the MI versions except the latest are kept for one reason only:
backward compatibility.  So an already existing front end should use
the version it was written to support, while a new front end should
use the latest version, the one invoked by "-interpreter=mi".  Doesn't
this solve the problem?  If not, why not, and what solutions you can
suggest to solve that?
