Ah, I found it at https://curl.se/mail/lib-2021-07/0058.html Nobody seems to have responded yet, but I do think you are misreading what "X was known under a different name Y up to 7.16.4" means. These places do not say "before 7.16.4", which would have implied that as of 7.16.4 you would be able to use X (not Y). But because "up to" is "less than or equal to but not more than" (e.g https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/up-to), what applies to 7.16.3 also applies to 7.16.4, but not to 7.17.0. IOW, the feature X was known as Y when 7.16.4 was current, so our use of X would not have worked with that exact version. We would have needed to wait until the next version (7.17.0).
