I'm worried about backward compatibility. If it's removed and the cgi-bin URL no longer works, people will have to modify their applications to point to the new URL after the upgrade. IMHO the ideal approach would be to be able to maintain the "old" url as well (at least for the time being, maybe with a warning on the log files saying that it is deprecated).
