I don't know about anybody else, but in order to migrate to vt6, I'm
looking at:
1. rewrite sixteen custom modules
2. reimplement all vt5 patches for vt6
Without any sort of adapter to provide backwards compatibility, I am forced
to do all this work at once, instead of being able to spread it out over
time as I respond to our normal queue of bugs and feature requests. As far
as one might "prefer one hard redesign, without compatibility," I think
that's only true when you have a deprecation period to make the transition.
