I realized after I sent that email that I should have said "until",
since that's one of the testing goals (seeing how applications
port both to the compatibility and to the new API).

Mailman is at the top of the list of test ports, but as you say
dependencies may have to be dealt with first.  I'm certainly glad
you are willing to help, since that will doubtless make it go
faster :)
