I would have expected a third patch in here, that actually converts
existing users. Then in the following release cycle, clean up any new
users of the old API that pop up in the meantime and drop the old API.

But I'll defer to the people who would actually be merging your code.
Technically it could also work to simply provide the API this cycle,
and convert everyone in the next.
