The "guarantee" is there today, right?  So this isn't really anything
other than a "convert to use new apis", right?

If so, I need to see a LOT of verification that the output is the same,
and that it has been properly tested.  Converting working code for no
real reason other than "let's change this!" isn't always a good idea.

For new code going forward, or if you are touching the same area, sure,
that makes sense, but be careful about stuff like this.

No diffstat?
