0.20.x supports the older API and it has been 're-deemed' as the stable one. You shouldn't face any hesitation in using it as even 0.23 would carry it (although there its properly deprecated). This is quite some confusion but I guess you still won't have some of the old API features in the new one.
FWIW the trunk/future-branches have new API MultipleInputs you can pull and include in your project. Also, alternative distributions that do stable backports may carry MultipleInputs in the new API (I use CDH3 and it does have mapreduce.lib.input.MultipleInputs backported in it).
