I'm glad I asked this question :-) Bruno actually submitted a PR with support for both the old and new namespaces [1] but we decided not to go with it since it felt like too much to support both versions of the API. However, this discussion is making me rethink that choice. For one, dropping support for the old API may actually require users to update their code (as described in my initial email), effectively breaking backwards compatibility. However, we do want to support the newer mailapi version as well so we do not force users to use an outdated dependency.
So, unless anyone objects, I will plan on resurrecting Bruno's PR within the next few days and merging it in.
