I wouldn't expect or even want you to.  v4 is a big change.

This does bring up a question I've been meaning to ask, though.

When there's a language (like, ruby, perl, python, etc.) where OI includes
multiple versions, is there any "supported" method for a system
administrator to choose which version is the default, similar to the
alternatives(8) system on Debian-derived and RHEL-derived Linux systems?
