I am in favour of dropping the code for version-hopping updates. It has always been a PITA to maintain it. If we leave it in, we need to fix it, though. Let's simply remove it.
OK, that avoids some of the problems (anyone up for an issue).
The original note still applies to anyone writing updates.

Just curious: Wouldn't it make sense to move all _old_ API functions as stub functions into a new update_api.inc (or similar named file) that is only included by update.php? Example: function menu_rebuild() { ...calls to new API functions... } So we wouldn't loose version-hopping and would probably get a nice overview of old API functions along with their new replacements. If properly documented with phpdoc blocks, this *could* be a neat replacement for our module update handbook pages. sun
