+These are in some sense more urgent than than the search API changes\r
+because the current API overloads a legitimate return value with an\r
+error indicator.\r
+\r
+Compared to the last version, these mainly use print_status_query.\r
+\r
+Also, in contrast to the search API changes, these do not introduce\r
+any new deprecation warnings (at least if the whole series is\r
+applied).\r
+\r
+TBH version 3 is just a guess.\r
