My two cents as a user of these APIs: having to deal with a major API
change once is acceptable. Whether it is in 3.2 or 3.4 I don't really
care.

But having to rewrite code both for 3.2 *and* 3.4 goes a bit too far. So
if the account handling doesn't land in 3.2, then please let's keep the
current (EDS 3.0) APIs officially supported in 3.2.
