true but another topic.

anyone of course can use the t3lib_div::, it works still out of the box.

because code should get better, even the t3lib_div or maybe especially 
t3lib_div!

this is just the case if an extension wants to be supprted in 2 major 
versions at the same time with the same version!

extension authors still can just say version 1.0 > for 4-5 and use 2.0 
for 4-6 and develop only the new one.

it is the same all the time, also with new features! 
t3lib->exec_SELECTgetSingleRow doesn't work with 4-3 (or even 4-4?) 
because it has been introduced later. so if you want your extension 
working *at the same time with the same version* with *both major 
versions*, you need to take care of theat.

same for new syntax with icons, same for the tree, same for so many things.

fluid got many new viewhelpers with 4-6. if you want to have those in 
4-5 you need to have those in another way.
