Description

@nechvatalp @nechvatalp Please reconsider how you all have restructured this library. It just broke a ton of our stuff with removing v6 & v5 code. In the old structure the various versions lived side-by-side so I think it's a fair assumption that people used liberal version restrictions assuming that the library would follow that pattern and not suddenly drop v6 from the code entirely.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the restructuring that removed the v5 and v6 code, then determine whether side-by-side version support can be restored without breaking existing version restrictions; done means a decided compatibility approach and corresponding implementation scope.
