To allow external framework writers to target both 3 and 4 when 
renames/deprecations occur. 

Without moving the new method to 3, there is a catch 22:

- either use the old API -> deprecation warning on 4
- either use the new API -> not available on 3

This will of course not be done for every change ;-)

Marcus explained this in more detail in a mail.
