This is a determination that can and should be made by the group on a 
case-by-case basis.  What would be the point of defining an "old" XCB, and 
then revving all of its RPC's to use 64-bit 100ns time, when in practice 
the changes will be deployed at the same time and so no one will ever use 
the "old" XCB RPC's?
