I'm more keen on having the framework agreed upon than deciding the
value of N.  As far as I'm concerned, it needs to be at least 1, but I'm sure
there are those who would want the value to be 3.  The question is, for how
many minor releases should a deprecated API remain, when the support
burden is high enough that we would want to limit it?
