I'm kind of meh on spacing out the API breakage. In fact, I tend to
think that it's better if we have lots of breakage in 1.6 and none (or
very little) in 1.7 then having some in the first and some in the
other; especially if the breakage is related, I think breaking
everything at once is probably easier on the extension authors than
spreading it out.

Cheers,
