Comment:

True, but using established interfaces, practices, etc leads to better quality 
code, in my opinion. Having code to do the same thing in the same place is much 
better and leads to more maintainable code.

I can definitely see the argument for backwards-compatibility for other 
extensions, there's definitely a trade-off involved. However, ConfirmEdit isn't 
being actively improved, so there isn't a compelling reason to use the unstable 
version on a stable release. I think in this case using the established 
interface outweighs the backwards compatibility concerns.
