While it's important to stick with policies lest they become useless, I
think the bigger picture needs to be remembered: the policies are in
place to produce good design decisions and to not let the development
cycle drag out uncontrollably. In this case, ISTM that there is now a
better naming scheme than what was originally discussed, and IMHO it's
defeatist to ignore that just because we're in beta. It would absolutely
have been better to have changed the names before entering beta, just
like it's absolutely better to change the names now rather than after
8.1.
I'd vote for officially #1 + depricating the old cancel_backend as of a
specific version (ie 8.2 or 8.3).
