The only issue (as Joshua has pointed out) is that 8.3 isn't out yet.
In general I agree with you and would propose that:
1)  1.3 only support the old API (allow wrappers to support the new one)
2)  Reverse this for 1.4, so that everything looks like it uses the
new API and wrappers are used for old servers.
