No, I think your points were all valid.  I've just been thinking in 
Python terms too much recently, where API compatibility is a much more 
flexible thing.  But even in python, you could detect an out-of-date 
xapian by catching the AttributeError when you try and call the version 
function, so there's no need to keep the old functions around indefinitely.

I've removed the comment from deprecation.rst, and I noticed that I 
missed the xapian_version functions from the list of deprecated 
functions in the bindings, so I've added them to that.
