That depends what 2.6-test really means.  I went and looked at the
archives for 2.3 development; 2.3.99-test1 was March 2000.  2.4.0 was
January 2001.  And remember that incompatible breaking changes continued
to go into 2.4 until at least 2.4.8.  I really hope it doesn't take that
long this time, but who knows.

I think we need to not break any drivers from this point onwards.
The core can still get whatever cleanups you like.  And if we get cardmgr
obsoleted in 2.6.3, so be it ;-)
