I am an utter scrubnub, but has followed this mailing list for.. more than a few years. Its not unheard of to get an angry response to a commit saying that its an API that is newer than the targeted version.

Being a scrubnub lurker I can't help but think that being somewhat agressive on compatibilty modes would be nice, but.. I'll shut up now :'). Just wanted the "people are angry when non-targeted versions of API's are implemented" thrown in there.
