user may want to roll back if he found some bugs in new version of dll
that's critical for him. Currently, most applications will continue
working, because even if some apis are added to dll, they're more or
less "exotic", so applications that make use of them are few. but with
is*() apis, almost every application built against new headers will be
incompatible with earlier versions of dll. so, backing things up may
be quite hard.
