3.z kernel is free to alter the schema. But it will have to supply the

The quirks idea sounds okay to me, if it can really provide forward
compatibility. In practice, I doubt anyone will really spend the
effort to make this work. I think it would be much easier to make sure
the bindings are "future proof" in the first place.

Thanks,
