If, however, you're not willing to fix query.php to wrap to api.php, then the issue is moot. No other developer has expressed a willingness to do so, as there are many other things on the plate. Therefore, making query.php play nicely with api.php is totally up to you guys. If someone's willing to step up to the plate to ensure backward compatibility, that'd be awesome. If not, then so be it. :P *shrug*

That is how "stable" query.php is at the moment. I don't really think we should keep query.php
Thanks for AzaTht for pointing to that example on IRC.

So, as Simetrical suggested, the query.php interface should be adjusted to work as a frontend to api.php, with full backwards compatibility. We've been told that all of the query.php functions are supported in api.php, so this should be possible and is certainly worthwile (there are *a lot* of programs out there being run by people who aren't the original maintainers that would crash to a halt were query.php to be removed).
In this way, the query you just pointed out would work.
