Right it provides a good example but also for my point. Although I may find your convention logical, I don't understand why you can't just keep the name of the old variable and change things the way you find convenient. I use bbdb-always-add-addresses variable so when I will try out 3.X I suppose I will receive an error message and will not have a direct idea which substitute to use. If you had kept the name abd may be changing its doc string things would be much more compatible.
