I already explained and the logic isn't necessarily "the same", I said it
works with the same application logic as before. Previously I thought
applications would want libcurl to spend as little time as possible before
giving the app a chance to run code again, but I could never find any proof
that people actually wanted or used this. I then switched and favour an easier
API that is less complicated to understand and use.

My point is that an application written to work with libcurl pre-7.20 still
works with libcurl 7.20+, which is what we're working hard to make sure.
