+\r
+I see these as different issues: ruby bindings not working because of\r
+a change in the ruby bindings is understandable, but ruby bindings not\r
+working because of an API change *and* that nobody bothered to\r
+implement this change would not make sense to me. Maybe ruby\r
+maintainers don't have that much time, which is why they don't make so\r
+many changes; but the bindings still work, and if somebody has the\r
+time to make changes, well, he has the time, but forcing the issue\r
+when breaking API does not make sense.\r
+\r
+I don't see why it would be difficult to do the API updates through\r
+all the notmuch code; if we can't update the API through all the code\r
+in a timely manner, how do we hope 3rd party uses would?\r
+\r
+If anything it would be an incentive to don't break the API so often;\r
+let's face it, notmuch is not so widely used, and breaking the API is\r
+not going to help things.\r
+\r
+Another option is to go the FFmpeg way: create a new function\r
+notmuch_database_open2, mark the old one as deprecated (but still\r
+works), and only after some time obsolete it.\r
+\r
+Cheers.\r
