Nothing in /api/ Ever goes away: You can continue to use 2.6-rc1 for all
time, but it would not be wise to. However, it's only obsolete in the
same way that /api/2.4/ is: You can safely use this in your application,
you should just be aware that as soon as 2.6 is released, it will make
sense for you to switch.
