I just wanted a new callback so that existing code doesn't need
to be changed.

I seem to have real problems making myself clear :)
If you change the existing callback, then you have to change
the existing code everywhere the callback function is called
or you can't even compile.
If you add a new callback function you still can compile the
code and run the program. Only where you decide to use
the new callback function you have to change the code -
and that can be done step by step (e.g. one step per
release).
