Breaking the API is bad.  People still haven't recovered (ie: ported all
the code) from the last API.  I can't speak for anyone other then
myself, but I can say that I will have to seriously consider switching
to something other then libnet if the API breaks and there is no simple
means for the current and new API's to co-exist on the same box.  I just
can't keep expecting my users to keep jumping through hoops to compile
my code like that.
