They could support them both, if we needed to be compatible with old
components. But I don't see why you say they would *have* to support them
both.

We could require revving both components and applications at the Gnome 2.0
time frame. I understand you don't *want* to do that, but I haven't heard
any specific reasons why it's such a terrible idea.
