how so, as someone pointed out, 57 isn't set yet. I'm only looking into
the future
There's already sufficient changes in 57 that pretty much dropped every
API we were using (get_buffer, memory allocation etc..)

currently none have an issue, we work with them all (but none of them ship
with anything > 2.8).
I'm only looking ahead, for when master becomes 2.10 (or 2.9?) or whatever
and it starts to be packaged and distributed.
