It will be needed to support the old syntax until the next 2 major API bumps
at minimum.
That is first it would need to be deprecated and then we need 2 major API bumps
before it can be removed.
Keep in mind users both of the command line tools as well as the API would
need to have their scripts / software updated/changed for this.
also to make the transition easy both variants should be supported at the
samw time so people can switch to the new syntax "immedeatly" and do not
need to time it with a specific version bump
Yes i know thats a bit annoying ...

Theres of course no need to support newly added features with the old syntax

thanks

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
