You are.  The new ABI is in the state of implemented-but-untested --
things should work, but there hasn't been enough real world
experimentation to know.  The plan is to get switched over to V3
first; then switch to the new ABI.  This will minimize the number of
variables changing at once.  I'd been hoping to switch to V3 ages ago,
but the library folks have hit some snags.  Benjamin is working on
this even as we speak, to the best of my knowledge.
