Probably the former.

We've already decided we should keep compatibility with 2.13 in
automake 1.5. Of course decisions can be revisited. But the reason
remains: there are lots of configure scripts out there that people
might not want to bring up to 2.50 compliance in the near future. But
those same people might still want to take advantage of new automake
features.
