We'll also include transitional methods when it's easy to do so. For example, we'll move from host strings to host objects (eliminating internal cruft) and split "env" into multiple objects/namespaces (less confusion, user errors and bugs.) But we'll ensure the "quick script / no boilerplate" use case still works, by (for example) preserving a "user@host:port" host-creation shortcut. End result should be a much improved infrastructure (+ a better library-use story) without turning into something totally alien.
