Theoretically, we'll be converted over to Ev2 and the compatibility
shim will not be used in our product. Only third-parties who choose to
stick to the old Ev1 (delta editor) interfaces will lose the integrity
check.

Ev2 only has checksums for the resulting content. It uses
path/revision to specify the target of the text change.
