This. *This* is why I've told you that you're misunderstanding 
everything. Don't take offense, just go back and read more carefully. I 
never said anything that implied that legacy interop is more valuable 
than a usable API. It's a nice strawman for you to build up and tear 
down, but you are arguing with a fictional character who is not me when 
you do so.

What I'm trying to point out is that these goals are not at odds with 
each other. Your statement above implies that you have taken it as given 
that we can't do both -- that there is a tradeoff here to be made. If 
you take that as a fundamental principle, then I can see how nothing I 
say makes any sense.

But they're not mutually exclusive goals. Keep that in mind, and go back 
to re-read what I've written.
