Everything depends on the patch. There's a difference between *can* be accepted and *will* be accepted. If you come with the patch restoring old ODS support in v3, it will be rejected simply because the active project members don't want to spend their time supporting that. It was discussed and agreed on. Whatever we agree on regarding the legacy API, we cannot stop maintaining it within its current boundaries. But whether it must be extended to accomodate all the new features is a subject of discussion, primarily depending on conclusions derived from this topic. Multiple separately maintainted APIs may be the same pain as with ODS. I'm not against the legacy API, it is all about the required efforts.
