There is no need to do it only one way. You could write a meta backend (like dll) that connects to a sane2 frontend and translates sane2 api to sane1 and loads sane1 backends. So you'd only update the maintained or new backends to sane2 and let the meta backend do the reast for the old ones. > What needs to be done to finish the standard?
