Re: [jbosscache-dev] Let's make 3.0 backwards compatible
No, I think people will switch to the new API, because the indirection
via the bridge will cost them some perf. But the advantage of a 2.x
compatible API for 3.x is that they can do the switch at their own leisure

This could be an alternate approach. We are talking about an adapter
for making 2.x and 3.x compatible with 1.x interfaces; it would be
much easier to do the same to make 3.x compatible with 2.x.
Potentially helps to keep the core 3.x APIs clean so if people want to
use 3.x directly they have a chance to use cleaner APIs.
The drawback is that everyone uses the adapter and never the cache
directly, which beats the purpose of the new APIs altogether.
Thoughts?
