I agree, it would be reasonable to wait a half year. Until that we can fix the already found and the upcoming bugs, solve the backward incompatibility. Even if those can be solved quickly we can upgrade to the c++ API. That won't be boring, and we can come up with a much clearer driver which works like a charm. Though I have no experiences in when should "big jumps" like that happen.
