Yes, I know that. You mentioned wanting to 'avoid this ABI change', which I
incorrectly took to mean *any* ABI version change. We missed having to do
this minor-version API change in previous iterations of this patch, so
that's why I'm bring it up now, since I just realized it.

I'll plan to wrap up the TOTP patch in the next few days, then.
