I think we may have different assumptions here:

* sounds like you're thinking of a new WC library which _client starts to use
* I'm thinking rewrite WC under the covers

Basically, my thinking is: if I can avoid touching _client, then I've
done my work properly.

So your basic statement about "when it touches" is valid, but it is
_wc rather than _client. And per my other note, that is the
no-going-back point when we need to make a decision w.r.t the 1.6
release.
