This makes sense. I suggest you go ahead with this when the 2.20 modules
are created. The release team might want to specify this as an official
external dependency, but if it's not listed as one now then you can
probably just go ahead.

I hope that people try to #ifdef around the relevant code so that it
builds with both.
