Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the restructuring that removed the v5 and v6 code, then determine whether side-by-side version support can be restored without breaking existing version restrictions; done means a decided compatibility approach and corresponding implementation scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

@nechvatalp @nechvatalp Please reconsider how you all have restructured this library. It just broke a ton of our stuff with removing v6 & v5 code. In the old structure the various versions lived side-by-side so I think it's a fair assumption that people used liberal version restrictions assuming that the library would follow that pattern and not suddenly drop v6 from the code entirely.
